The qualities that underpin Magdalena’s work also set it apart. Communication and empathy lie at the heart of her practice. For Magdalena, photography is a creative exchange based in authenticity and trust, and the set is a space where both photographer and subject can share a sense of vulnerability and openness. Ensuring that her subjects feel safe and valued allows Magdalena to capture emotions and personal narratives in which viewers can also recognize themselves.
Magdalena considers it a privilege to work with people – to witness history through the eyes of others, and to use the camera as a way of exploring our shared humanity. Her bold visual style – shaped, in part, by many years of experience photographing subcultural communities – forms a strong counterpoint to the warmth and sensitivity of her portrayals. Through her photography, Wosinska embraces the passion, richness and complexity of human experience.
