Karolina Skorek Fine Art

Karolina Skorek is an award-winning portrait specialist based in Hawarden, GB, known for fine art portrait commissions and professional headshots that stand apart. Rooted in a practice that bridges traditional painterly influences with contemporary photographic technique, Karolina approaches portraiture as storytelling—each image is crafted to reveal personality, presence and narrative. Why choose Karolina for your portrait? Her work is informed by a deep study of light and composition—references to classical chiaroscuro and reverence for painterly form give portraits a timeless, cinematic quality. Clients seeking distinctive professional headshots or commissioned fine art portraits benefit from Karolina’s ability to balance technical excellence with emotional depth: the result is images that serve both personal expression and business use with confidence and nuance. What makes her approach special is the fusion of disciplines. Karolina combines meticulous in-studio direction, carefully considered lighting, and a signature post-production workflow to create atmosphere, texture and colour that feel deliberate rather than decorative. She treats each commission as a collaborative process: listening to client intent, shaping mood and styling, then refining the final image to a finished artwork. This methodology ensures portraits that are immediately striking and enduringly meaningful. How she works with clients: From initial conversation to delivery, Karolina prioritises clarity and creative partnership. Portrait commissions begin with a thoughtful briefing—understanding the story you want to tell, the context for the portrait (personal, editorial or business use), and any stylistic preferences. In the studio she creates a calm, focused atmosphere that helps subjects feel at ease, allowing genuine expression to surface. Final images receive careful artistic finishing to achieve the signature fine art look her work is known for. Alongside commissioned portraiture, Karolina shares her practice through masterclasses, workshops and 1:1 mentorship for photographers—opportunities for creatives to learn composition, lighting and her Photoshop techniques. These educational offerings support her core portrait practice, helping clients and fellow photographers understand the craft behind the images. Based in Hawarden and serving clients across the UK, Karolina Skorek Fine Art specialises in portrait photography that combines classical influence with contemporary storytelling—perfect for anyone seeking a professional headshot, a personal fine art commission, or a portrait that makes a lasting impression.
