Marta Szczesniak

I'm a polish photographer and graphic designer born on 20 april 1982. I've been living in French riviera since 2005.

As a teenager I worked as a model, the experience from this period helped me to improve my current occupation.

I love working with people, which reveals in portrait photography.

Curiosity pushes me to travel and to discover new places.

I try to be honest in everything I do, including photographing the subject -choosing the right composition, light, background. I think there is always room for improvement so I treat photography like a neverending work, a discovery which will be completed when I'm able to show accurately everything that is in my imagination.
