Kasia Photography

What Kasia Photography does

Kasia Photography is a sole proprietorship founded in 2011 by Katarzyna Kochanowska, operating as a hybrid photography studio and educational platform. The physical studio in Świnoujście, Poland, serves local families for newborn, infant, pregnancy, and family portrait sessions, while the education business targets professional and semi-professional photographers globally through digital products and live workshops centered on the founder's proprietary 'Okno Studyjne' (Studio Window) lighting technique, which uses flash/strobe to replicate natural window light.

The product portfolio consists of a flagship live online workshop (Zoom, max 10 participants per cohort, three group sessions plus individual consultation), two 100-150 page PDF e-books on newborn and infant session schemas, a pair of Lightroom/Adobe Camera Raw presets (color and B&W) tuned for the Studio Window look, and a Photoshop retouching action. Underlying 'technology' is primarily craft-based: the Studio Window method, the custom .xmp preset configurations, and the Photoshop action. Digital products are distributed through a Squarespace storefront (PLN pricing) and a Big Cartel storefront (GBP pricing), with Stripe as payment processor and digital delivery via email within 48 hours.

The business model is a self-serve direct-to-consumer e-commerce operation with a content-marketing layer. Revenue is generated from one-time purchases of low-ticket digital products (PLN 39-590 / £23-£365) and from workshop seat sales, supplemented by local in-studio portrait commissions. Go-to-market is community-led, driven by an educational blog (Polish-language SEO) and an active Instagram presence (@kasia.photography) that builds authority in a narrow niche of newborn and infant studio photography. The business is bootstrapped, with no external funding, patents, partnerships, or employees beyond the founder.
