Whether you're after a refined personal portrait or a professional headshot, she approaches every session with warmth, patience and a clear eye for timeless composition. Her studio in Harlow is designed to be a calm, welcoming space where clients can relax and be themselves.

Working with Krystina is collaborative from the first enquiry. She listens to what you want to achieve and tailors the session to suit your personality and purpose.

Her aim is to craft portraits that work across uses — from framed studio prints to online profiles — while remaining true to each subject. Photography for Krystina is about connection. She is motivated by the moment when someone relaxes in front of the lens and their true self emerges. That dedication shows in every portrait she creates, and in the careful, respectful way she treats each person who steps into her studio.
