Internationally renowned fine‑art portrait studio in Kettering. Paulina crafts timeless family, maternity and children portraits in a painterly, relaxed session with bespoke wall art.
Paulina Duczman is a specialist portrait photographer based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, known for a classical, fine‑art painterly approach. As an internationally‑renowned, multi‑award‑winning artist, Paulina focuses on creating timeless portraits of families, maternity, motherhood and children — images that read like paintings: elegantly lit, meticulously composed and rich in mood. Why choose Paulina? Her work is defined by an obsession with light, tone and detail. Drawing on a childhood surrounded by antique restoration and Victorian art, Paulina sculpts photographs using both ambient window light and studio lighting (Godox and Profoto), producing deep, cinematic tones and soulful, emotive portraits. Clients return for her considered styling, world‑renowned posing expertise and the calm, five‑star session experience she offers in her characterful Kettering studio. How she works: every portrait session begins with a thorough pre‑session consultation so Paulina can understand your vision, discuss styling, choose a colour palette and plan the shoot. Sessions are designed to be relaxed and unhurried — ideal for children and families — and tailored to each client’s needs. After the shoot Paulina hand‑selects and carefully hand‑edits the strongest images in her signature painterly style. Finished galleries are revealed at an in‑person or online appointment, where clients can view the work and select bespoke products. What makes the experience special: Paulina doesn’t just deliver digital files — she creates heirloom artwork. Her studio displays beautiful wall art and she offers handmade products and bespoke collections designed to sit in your home. Attention to wardrobe, props and composition is integral to her process; every portrait is crafted to become a lasting piece of interior art. Additional expertise: alongside portrait commissions, Paulina runs specialist workshops and video courses for photographers who wish to learn her lighting and editing techniques. She is happy to travel for commissions, bringing her fine‑art portrait approach to clients across the UK. If you seek a portrait studio in Kettering that blends classical painterly aesthetics with compassionate direction and gallery‑quality results, Paulina Duczman provides a considered, luxury experience that honours family, motherhood and childhood in every image.
