Bio

Aleksandra Zaborowska (born in 1991) graduated from PWSFTviT (Film School) in Łódź, where she earned a Master’s degree in Fine Arts. For fourteen years, she has been a professional photographer. She specializes in portraiture but has also successfully worked on commercial and fashion sets.

For several years, she has been teaching portrait photography at the Film School in Łódź, which is considered to be one of the best artistic schools in Europe. She was invited to join the teaching staff as one of the youngest persons in the university’s history. Using her acquired experience, Aleksandra conducts lectures and training sessions across the country as an expert.

In 2022, she co-created a comprehensive “Project Photography” course with a group of renowned photographers. The course has gained exceptional recognition in the photography industry and has so far gathered over 2500 participants.

The photographer is known for her vivid, powerful portraits that unquestionably emphasize emotions. She presents her subjects in a delicate manner, that the outside world is rarely privileged to see. It is said that her photographs portray people as incredibly strong yet soothingly calm. We feel their power, captured in their photos, mainly because they dared to pose in front of the lens completely vulnerable.

The artist often uses black and white to enhance the focus on the face. However, she does not shy away from colors that, with their painterly quality, often resemble paintings. In her work, she shows how important transience is to her and the constant pursuit of that one decisive gaze, not a moment.

She has published her works in magazines all over the world, including Vogue, Elle, L’Officiel, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Wysokie Obcasy, Twój Styl, Digital Camera.
Among the commercial clients, she has collaborated with brands such as Puma, Mohito, Origins, Medicine, Kazar, Canon, Big Star Jeans, Tatuum, Wólczanka, Lavard, APART, EA Sports, and many others.

She has photographed the most recognizable faces in the Polish showbiz industry, including Robert Lewandowski, Martyna Wojciechowska, Andrzej Chyra, Małgorzata Szumowska, Magda Lamparska, and many others.
