Outdoor photo session in Warsaw and the surrounding area — from 700 PLN, no studio rental on top. Daylight, a location chosen for the concept, 10, 20 or 40 retouched photos.
Outdoors you don’t set the light. You work with it — and that’s why an outdoor session looks different from a studio one.
It isn’t that it’s somehow “more natural”. It’s that you get things a studio can’t give you: space around you, depth, sun at a particular hour, a background that means something. The price for that is less control — and that’s worth knowing before you book, too.
An outdoor session costs 700 PLN for 10 photos, 1200 PLN for 20 or 2000 PLN for 40 — the same as a private session in a studio, because it’s the same work. What differs is the cost of the place: a studio adds a rental fee, outdoors there’s usually nothing to add.
Usually, not always. A botanical garden, private grounds or another paid location has its own fee. If we pick a place like that, I give you the cost before booking and you pay it 1:1, with no markup from me.
With the time of day. Outdoors this is decision number one, more important than the location. The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset give soft, warm light and long shadows. Midday gives hard light from above — sometimes great, but entirely different pictures. We book the session around the light, not around a free slot in the calendar.
Then the place. Same as choosing a studio — first we settle how the photos should look, then I go looking for a location. It can be the city, greenery, water, architecture, or your own interior if that’s where the mood lives. The photos in the gallery were taken in Warsaw — by the Fryderyk Chopin Museum on Tamka Street, in Ciszyca, and in the city at dusk and at night — and beyond it, on the beaches of Gdańsk-Brzeźno and Gdynia-Redłowo and in the Ślichowice quarry reserve in Kielce.
Logistics last. There’s no dressing room outdoors. If we’re planning several outfits, I pick a spot where changing is possible and tell you in advance.
Outdoor work depends on the weather and there’s no point pretending otherwise. An overcast sky is a big, soft diffuser and often makes better pictures than hard sun. What we do if it pours on the day depends on the concept, the conditions and what we agreed at booking — sometimes we move the date, and sometimes rain is exactly what we came for.
Winter isn’t a problem either, and we’re not afraid of it: one of our sessions was shot at night in the snow, at −12°C.

Ask about a dateStudios charge per started hour, and Warsaw rates are usually around 150 PLN/h. Session 10 and Session 20 take 2 started hours of booking (about 80 minutes of shooting), Session 40 takes 3 (about 140 minutes); the rest is setting up, outfit changes and clearing the space. So typically around 300 PLN or around 450 PLN for the studio. Outdoors there's usually nothing to add.
You pay the venue cost 1:1, with no markup from me. I give you the exact figure and agree it with you before booking the date.
Liked more frames than the package covers? You can add more at the price on the card — the bigger the package, the cheaper
Makeup and hair? I'll recommend a makeup artist I work with. You arrange and settle with her directly — she sets her own rate, roughly 320 PLN.

Before booking you get the full set from me: the price list, the Session Terms and a draft contract with its annexes — so you know what we're agreeing to before you confirm anything. Prices are gross, VAT included, and beyond what's above I charge nothing extra for the service. If I change the price list, your booked session is settled at the version you received.
Price list 2026.9.6, from 2 October 2026. Not an offer within the meaning of art. 66 of the Polish Civil Code, but an invitation to talk about a session.
We settle the styling earlier, with the moodboard — this list is the purely practical stuff that’s easy to forget outdoors.
