Aneta Warlikowski

I rarely talk about my self, because my interest is directed to others, photography is my tool of communication and I prefer to tell the world about myself in this way.

I am a communicative and open person, but I can also be very determined to achieve the best outcome of my work. People's honesty, commitment and uniqueness have big value for me, especially when Im working in a team. In each new job or project I am looking for an opportunity to enrich my experience and learn new skills. My Fascination with photography started when pictures became the only form of dialogue with my autistic son, the camera is a daily communication medium between us.

I have been developing my art and photography skills over the years, at the end of my educational path, I graduated from Coventry University BA (Hons) Photography.

My professional work experience started with projects assignments for advertising and media agency, In parallel with my work at the agency I created publications and art exhibitions.

I have good manual skills that allow me to make beautiful scenery and props for photoshoots,

I perfected my artistic skills during the Foundation Art and Design course in a local college. Currently…Im running a photo - studio in Nuneaton, unfortunately the covid times have left a mark on me and at the moment Im looking for this work position to be able to return to projects and maintain the studio. I cannot imagine working without a camera or a subject related to my passion, my only option in professional fulfillments is to create artefacts, that in the form of art retain the memory for many years to come.
