About Anna Salek
My name is Anna Salek, and I'm a headshot/portrait and fashion photographer based in St Helens UK.
I love creating timeless photographs . I believe in magic of beauty in simplicity .
Photography gives me freedom and an infinite space to create. I can express my emotions and capture in pictures everything I love about photographing people.
I was born in Poland , from 2007 I live and work in the UK. My journey with photography began from taking pictures of my friends and their children, but I truly fallen in love with photography when my daughter was born in 2015 . Since then my life has changed forever. I finally found my destiny.
