Katarzyna Slomińska
Katarzyna Słomińska is a portrait photographer based in Warsaw who has devoted herself to her craft with remarkable consistency for several years. What began as curiosity and a hobby — her first model was her sister — quickly developed into a distinctive and unmistakable visual language. Considering the quality and maturity of her portfolio, it is surprising that she does not work as a full-time photographer.

The works exhibited at 10Fotos focus on black and white, a deliberate choice that draws attention to expression, light and posture. Her portraits are sensual, yet subtle. They play with proximity and distance, direct gazes, and moments of pause. Curly hair falls across the face, hands frame the eyes and fabrics cling to the skin. These elements come together to create intense visual spaces in which the model appears both strong and vulnerable.
Katarzyna has a particularly striking sense of light. Soft window light sculpts faces and bodies, and shadows remain calm and controlled. Even in more staged shots featuring reflections, magazine covers or minimalist interiors, the composition remains clear and well thought out. Rather than being exhibited, the bodies are translated into forms. Lines, curves and contrasts create graphic structures that lend depth to the images.
Her photographs range from classic portraits to modern boudoir aesthetics and artistic staging. Despite their sensual nature, the images never appear intrusive or exaggerated. Instead, they create an atmosphere of intimacy and trust. It is clear that they are created with empathy, as well as a keen sense of timing and expression.
Although she only started taking photographs in 2018, her work already shows an astonishing range, from minimalist close-up portraits to powerful full-body shots. On her social media, she pairs these black-and-white pieces with equally sensitive colour compositions.

10Fotos says: Katarzyna Słomińska impresses with her sensual yet clear portrait photography. Her images are simultaneously intense, modern and timeless. We are particularly impressed by her keen sense of light, expression and body language. The fact that she does not work professionally in the traditional sense makes her achievement all the more remarkable. This is photography born of passion, and it shows in every shot.
