About
My name is Ania, I am a dynamic and creative individual, born in Poland, currently living and creating in Vancouver, BC.
I have cultivated my artistic voice to reflect my European roots. My photography embodies independence and liberation, with a unique story storytelling flair that resonates in every image.
My artistic journey has been adorned with numerous accomplishments, including showcasing my work in prestigious galleries through several art shows.
Currently I'm shifting my creative expression in "Rude Art" series of collages for Under100Art Show. This is a big shift for me. By diversifying my portfolio, I'm not only showcasing my versatility as an artist but also my willingness to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new challenges.
At the same time, these collages serve as a retrospective, offering a glimpse into the past and how societal attitudes towards adult content have evolved over time. Each piece is a testament to my artistic vision and commitment to pushing boundaries in the name of creative expression.
I am deeply grateful for these experiences and look forward to continuing my growth as a photographer, sharing my passion with an ever-expanding audience.
My Expertise
Having been an active member of the Irish Street Photography Group from 2013 to 2019, I took part in two International Street Photography Exhibitions in Dublin, Ireland as part of the Irish Street Photography Group.
This experience allowed me to develop a keen eye for capturing the raw energy and authenticity of urban life.
I am a member of Vancouver Street Photography Collective and founder of BNCTP Building New Connections Through Photography Group
My Philosophy
"If you don't think photos are important, wait until, they're all you have left."
I believe that the best photos are created when there is a connection between the photographer and the subject. That's why I take the time to get to know my clients and understand their vision before we start shooting.
My mission is to create stunning and timeless images that capture the beauty and essence of the subjects forever!
The Story
I consider the work I do with models to be partially a hybrid between who they actually are and what persona myself and the subject jointly decide we want to create. Very often, the kind of work I do lends itself to the opportunity to explore memories of people we used to know or projections of people we might want to be.
My work adapts to the changing seasons, showcasing my versatility, adaptability and authenticity to my narratives.
I love creative collaborations with others.
Here you'll find a collection of carefully selected portraits, travel and street photography, which records every day life in urban sphere, containing hints of stories and feelings.
What do I have to offer:
In my images, I strive to highlight the extraordinary in the ordinary, turning moments into memories, and crafting a visual symphony that celebrates the human spirit. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the beauty of hard work and creativity, I invite you to explore the world through my lens and discover the stories that lie within
