They give that professional, polished and creative look and are very me" Tina Steele

  • "I would have no hesitation in recommending Karolina and in fact have done so already, her work is excellent and she is very accommodating, listening to what you are trying to convey as a brand and taking time to fully understand the look and feel you are trying to achieve and will offer ideas and suggestion to help. I loved working with Karolina.” Nicky

questions & answers

  • I live in Dalgety Bay, Fife, Scotland. I serve clients in Fife, Perth and Dundee areas, also in Edinburgh. I am also available to travel (additional cost might apply towards travel cost)

  • Investment in headshots and portraits starts at £125, branding photography prices start at £475. See INVESTMENT page for all the details. Corporate photography requires custom quotes, so it’s best to get in touch HERE.

  • I wrote and article about this, you can find it HERE

  • No, I choose not to keep a studio. I prefer photographing my clients in locations that best represent their brands. If a “studio look” is important to you, I can bring a mobile studio set up: with a white, grey or black backdrop.

  • Sometimes we just don’t have any proof that we can look good in photos! Few years ago, Helen, a lecturer and public speaker, contacted me saying: I need a new portrait for my speaking engagement announcement. I like myself and everything, I just don’t photograph well, so I am not expecting much.

    Here is what she emailed me after she saw her gallery: “Unbelievable. I was hoping for one usable photo, and I actually really like most of them, for the first time in my life”.

    When we work together, I will ask about parts of your body that you don’t want highlighted, we all have something we don’t like about our looks. The more honest you can be, the better your photos will be.

  • We will plan this together, but here are few main points:

    1. You must feel comfortable to look comfortable.

    2. Always take a short video, using your mobile phone, to see how your clothes look on your body. Do not trust the mirror, as our mind has a way of making us look the way we want to. Do a little catwalk to see yourself from an objective point of view.

    3. Bear in mind the type of fabric you wear and how it works with the mood you are hoping to achieve, eg. linen creases easily and is best worn when you want very casual portraits; heavy knitted pieces are very cosy and bring comfort to the images, but do not work well for more formal portraits.

    4. Wearing oversized pieces in black to hide any extra weight you may carry , most often results in your body looking heavier than it is. We can’t see the details in the black fabric and it creates more volume, than slightly fitted pieces would.

  • Whether you decide to book a professional makeup artist or do it yourself, keep your makeup matte for a natural light photoshoot. Avoid contouring, which might look great straight on, but is likely to be very prominent from side angles. Don’t get too adventurous with new colours that you haven’t worn before, you might be uncomfortable and worried about results.
