We are a young, just married international couple bound by the passion for photography. Although these days we mostly work independently we share the equipment and expertise and our shooting style is very similar.
In 2012 Tomasz will focus on his IT career and only take a limited number of full day assignments. Raifa will commit to photography full time and offer a broad range of services starting from affordable 2 hour outdoor session to custom assignments abroad that spread across multiple days.
Our shooting style can be described a mix of glamour and reportage. We try to emphasize the inner beauty of our subjects by focusing on their unique expressions, our pictures are often described as “movie like”. Even though we do mostly “destination photography” we believe that the beautiful scenery should not overwhelm the subjects and their emotions, so we are trying to show it in a subtle way.

Tomasz has always been serious about capturing images of life on film from the age of 10, when he first received his SLR camera: a soviet-made Zenit. Beautiful landscapes, different cultures and interesting people were his subjects and his camera has seen many different parts of the world.
He took the next leap when he was inspired by Peter Tan, whom he had met by chance in 2007. Having left left his IT career of 10 years to pursue a his new career in professional photography, Peter Tan, a certified Master Photographer by the MPA (UK), is now one of the leading professional photographers from South East Asia.
Peter’s influence, along with exposure from other numerous well known photographers worldwide, has helped Tomasz, progress to the next level of photography. With the exposure and experience accumulated either thru attending workshops, seminars and thru self-learning, Tomasz is now an accomplished photographer by his own right. And yet, he’s still hungry to learn and experience even more.
As of now, Tomasz has captured literally hundreds of thousands of images, either on film or on digital format. He’s familiar with both black and white film as well as color negative in different formats and still processes the film and prints individually by hand in a traditional darkroom, a long lost art in today’s digital world.
Tomasz was born and lives in Central Europe. He has traveled extensively in Latin America, Asia and Russia. Having been an expat, he finds it inspiring to work with people of different cultures and origins. In fact, most of his current customers find a familiar camaraderie, being expatriates themselves, plus a host of international travelers to the beautiful and historical Prague, his current home city.
Tomasz works all over Czech Republic, the neighboring countries (Austria, Germany, and Poland) and world-wide. Apart from the countries already mentioned he has covered assignments in France, Lithuania, Malaysia, Singapore and Panama.
