Hello — I'm Rafał, and portrait photography is my craft. For over 20 years I've been photographing people and the stories behind them; a portrait for me is more than a face—it's a narrative of personality and moment. Based in Sosnowiec, I approach each session with curiosity and calm that helps bring out natural expression and authenticity. My working method begins with conversation. A short briefing before the session helps align expectations, style and mood—whether you want a classic studio portrait or a relaxed outdoor shoot. During the session I focus on comfort and ease: I guide, demonstrate poses and let you be yourself. The result are portraits that look natural yet have strong visual impact. I specialize in portraits for professional use—business headshots for CVs, LinkedIn profiles and corporate materials are created with an emphasis on credibility and refined simplicity. I understand what companies and individual professionals need: I shape pose, light and framing to communicate competence and authenticity without artificiality. Photography, for me, is storytelling—sometimes literal, sometimes slightly imagined. I combine exhibition experience and collaboration with local clients with an eye for the small details that make a compelling portrait. If you're looking for a portrait specialist in Sosnowiec who delivers professional images with a human touch, let's talk. I ensure a relaxed session atmosphere and portraits that say exactly what you want them to.
