As a portrait photography specialist, Karol Szymborski focuses on authenticity and respect for the person photographed. Our Białystok studio continues a family photographic tradition dating back to 1898 — a heritage of sensitivity and aesthetic that we combine with modern equipment and careful digital processing. Why choose us for portrait photography? We treat every portrait as its own story. Rather than producing formulaic shots, we concentrate on character, genuine expression and small, meaningful gestures. We work in a conversational, calm atmosphere so even those who are camera-shy quickly relax. The result is portraits that feel both real and timeless — perfect for personal albums, professional portfolios or family gifts. Our workflow is clear and client-focused: we discuss expectations before the session, create a comfortable environment during the shoot, then select the best frames and apply tasteful retouching that preserves the natural look. With experience in retouching and photo restoration, we subtly enhance color, light and detail without compromising the subject’s authenticity. We also provide complementary services such as business headshots and family or children’s sessions, while maintaining portrait photography as our primary specialization. We pay special attention to working with children, managing pace and comfort so sessions are relaxed and playful rather than stressful. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Białystok who combines experience, sensitivity and professionalism, please get in touch. We create portraits with passion — images that tell the true story of the person in front of the lens.
