I'm Natalia Zmysłowska, a photographer living in Manchester, UK, with a love for capturing the world in its most genuine moments. I'm always chasing that perfect mix of light, emotion, and story in every frame. For me, photography is more than a craft – it's a way of seeing and sharing the world. 

Have you ever looked at an animal and wondered what it's thinking? Has it ever looked back at you and thought the same? These moments of personality and presence are what I want to capture - unguarded, unstaged, and unfiltered. A lion yawning, a squirrel climbing, or a red panda cheekily reaching for a leaf. My animal photography is not about showcasing their majesty or exoticness; it's about presenting them as honest, curious, sleepy, alert, awkward, or playful - just like us, forging a connection through shared experiences.

Has a building ever spoken to you? They talk to me, although in a different language. Angular forms, straight lines, silent stories, repeating patterns, concrete grammar, and glass expressions. The Morse code flicker of light in a stairwell, the echoing symmetry of modern architecture, and the hushed whisper of a bridge crossed by a solitary figure at dawn. Sometimes we overlook these exchanges and conversations, but if we pause to notice them, they reveal the beauty in the unnoticed. To me, urban landscapes are alive, full of rhythm, contrast, and hidden stories.

What began as a fascination with quiet moments has evolved into a lifelong pursuit of authenticity through the lens. You can find my work online, occasionally in magazines, and sometimes on the walls of galleries.
