KAROLINA DOMASZEWICZ
Why did you decide to open a modeling agency?
I decided to open a modeling agency in 2014 because I am passionate about discovering and nurturing talent while helping individuals achieve their dreams in the fashion industry. I wanted to create a platform that not only connects models with opportunities but also fosters personal growth and flourishing careers. Currently, I represent four models and a tattoo artist. My heart has always been drawn to artistic souls, which is why I don’t limit my work solely to the fashion industry.
What is your vision as a photographer?
My vision as a photographer is to capture authentic emotions and tell meaningful stories through my images. Photography, to me, is more than just taking pictures—it’s about preserving moments that convey deep feelings, individuality, and the beauty of everyday life. My goal is to create work that inspires and connects with people while preserving memories in a timeless and genuine way. Whether it’s capturing the essence of a person, the atmosphere of a place, or the energy of a fleeting moment, I strive for my photography to evoke a sense of connection and leave a lasting impact.
What is your background?
My background is rooted in creativity and a passion for visual storytelling. Over the years, I’ve developed my skills through hands-on experience, constantly learning and evolving in my craft. I’ve worked on diverse projects that have refined my artistic vision and allowed me to connect with inspiring individuals. Additionally, I hold certifications in Visual Merchandising, Window Display Styling, and Fashion Styling.
How do you see the future of what you do?
I see the future of my work as an exciting journey of growth, exploration, and innovation. I plan to keep refining my craft, experimenting with new techniques, and embracing emerging trends and technologies that enhance creativity. The world of art and storytelling is constantly evolving, and I aim to stay at the forefront of these changes by pushing creative boundaries and finding fresh ways to connect with people. My goal is to reach a broader audience, collaborate with inspiring individuals, and create work that resonates emotionally while leaving a lasting impression. Ultimately, I want to use my skills to inspire, uplift, and bring meaningful stories to life in ways that are both timeless and forward-thinking.

When did you start modeling?
I don’t remember the exact date, but I believe I started taking modeling more seriously around the end of November 2023.
What was your first modeling experience?
I remember my first-ever photoshoot was in June 2023. After that, I did, I think, two more shoots, but then the process stopped for a while. This was mainly because I didn’t see myself doing it professionally at the time—I was just testing myself to see how I would adapt to being on the other side of the camera.
Things changed unexpectedly when my current manager, Karolina Domasiewicz, discovered me and offered me the opportunity to work with her. I’m truly grateful for that.
What is your dream modeling gig?
At the moment, I would love to appear in more recognizable magazines and work on photoshoots for clothing or jewelry brands.
What are your favorite things to do?
Lately, I’ve had more time to read, and I’ve gotten really into psychology and self-improvement books. I also love dancing—I’ve been learning hip-hop for about three years now. When I’m feeling stressed, I usually play the piano. These are some of my favorite things to do.
Who is your favorite photographer, either online or in real life?
Definitely Dorota Szulc. I discovered her work two years ago, and I’ve been amazed by it ever since. She has this incredible way of capturing moments—so vulnerable, yet natural and flawless. I also really admire Greg Williams. I love how he photographs people, especially during fancy, prestigious events.

I’ve been passionate about body art for as long as I can remember. I began tattooing professionally in 2018.

I try to draw inspiration from various trends, adopting elements that align with my artistic vision while staying open to new possibilities. What I value most is observing how different artists interpret the same subject through drastically different stylistic lenses.

What was your first modeling experience?
My first modeling experience was a photoshoot in a forest. It was cheerful yet calming to work in such a serene environment. Being surrounded by nature felt like being at home.

I also found a great connection with the photographer, making the experience both pleasurable and exciting.
