Before
taking up photography Paulina studied painting at the Fine Arts Academy
in Wroclaw, Poland. Inspired by the works of Richter, she started
experimenting with mixed media before settling on photography as her
preferred medium. Her painting studies are still present when she uses
old retouching techniques, paints by hand over photographs, and
sometimes the negatives. She usually prefers to shoot on film as it is
like a signature or fingerprint, a unique result of time spent in the
darkroom. This is why her fashion shoots always result in something
unconventional and artistic.
After moving to England she has become
interested in the aesthetics and atmospheres of English folklore and
traditions especially pagan and witchcraft related rituals, art, music
and dance while incorporating her Slavic roots. Currently she is
collaborating with a very well known designer and will be exhibited next
year during London Fashion Week.
