Polish photographer specializing in equine photography. Portraying horses and equestrianism in extraordinary circumstances or locations brings her the greatest pleasure. Her private projects revolve around historic buildings and ruins – the less is a place graced with horses’ presence, the more she want to take them there. She is fond of equestrian photography in a studio environment created by, for example, professional lighting.
Her photo report, telling the story of Sandra Santi (a woman in a wheelchair who has a passion for horses), received an honorable mention in the Polish nationwide contest Grand Press Photo 2021 in the category Young Poland – photojournalism.
