We are starting “featured photographer” series today. For the next few weeks we’ll be showing you sample edits from super talented photographers from all over the world using actions and presets from Essential Kit for Photographers. We all like to be inspired so we thought that showing you before and after pictures would be a cool add on on our website.
Our first talent is Aga Cudak (Poland). You can visit Aga’s website here. You’ll find a mix of fashion, portrait and wedding photos there, as well as a coverage from tons of events she takes part of – she is one busy bee. Besides being the photographer, Aga teaches photography to young enthusiast and organizes very popular workshops. All photographs by Aga Cudak.
Essence of beauty!
Her model work blows me away each time I have the pleasure to see it. The way she sees women – you just have to see for yourselves. Besides that, she’s an amazing person, always an optymist with a beautiful smile on her face. I guess that’s why so many people love being friends with that girl.
Aga about photographing women: ” Women are an amazing subject. Each of us is unique and special. When I photograph, I always want to show the beauty and make girls realize how amazing they are. It always makes me sad that so many ladies do not see their pottential, they waste time on judging themselves based on (not always true) stereotypes of beauty.
Photographer’s attitude can change their way of seeing. I’ve seen women flourish, forget about their little imperfections and getting more and more confident in front of the camera. That’s why I always show what I shot on my camera’s display. I can see how I gain trust from my models what leads to them being more relaxed and open. In effect I get photos showing that magical essence of feminity.
Latest fashion photography assignment
Aga shot this recent fashion assignment for Si Magazine. These unique clothes are from fashion designer Agata Król-Iwulska’s collection. “I had so much fun photographing this session. Loved working with with this model.”
What are Aga’s plans for the future? “I really wish I can grow as a photographer dividing my time between my fashion work, weddings, portraits and workshops. Meet more and more amazing people and always be as happy as I am now”
What’s Aga’s biggest dream? “I wish my work becomes published in Vogue one day” (and we wish you that too)
P.S. Stay tuned for the next week, as we are coming with some cool samples from destination wedding photographers.
