Nice to meet you! I am a Wroclaw (Poland) based photographer, working at the intersection of the genre, documentary and art photography. In my photos I try to combine simple and purity pictures with the emotional moments and a hint of the cinematographic mood.
I do different types of photography — from wedding to corporate, interior and fashion photoshoots. Please, check the portfolio and contact for the type you need.
I shoot both digital and film. I speak Russian, English and Polish.
My art projects could be seen here katerinakouzmitcheva.com
