Biography

Dominika is a documentary and fine art photographer from Poland, residing in the UK. She recently finished with a First Class degree in BA (Hons) Photography at the University of Huddersfield. Dominika specialises in exploring the subject of immigration, influenced by her own experiences. She uses photography as a cathartic process to further question identity, and feelings of displacement. Through her work, she hopes to change preconceptions members of the public may have towards immigrants, as well as highlight relatable experiences to fellow immigrants. She takes influence from a variety of photographers, from Rachel Louise Brown and Chris Nunn, to Mahtab Hussain – whom also makes work to provoke debate about sociological issues regarding immigration.  Along with developing her own practice, Dominika has a keen interest in commercial photography and hopes to pursue this further. Dominika is a full-time fashion still-life photographer with experience in digital marketing.
