As a photographer, Magdalena Wosinska’s values are rooted in her own status as an outsider – first, as a newcomer to America from Eastern Europe, and later, as a woman in the-male dominated worlds of skateboarding and heavy metal music – and shaped by her own experiences of personal challenge and growth. For Wosinska, the camera is a way of building meaningful connections between herself, her subjects, and the viewer.

The qualities that underpin Wosinska’s work also set it apart. Communication and empathy lie at the heart of her practice. For Wosinska, 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 Wosinska to capture emotions and personal narratives in which viewers can also recognize themselves.

Wosinska 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.

Publicatins and Exhibitions:

Magdalena has published 4 books, Bite It You Scum (2010), The Experience Vol.1 (2015), Leftovers Of Love (2018) and Fulfill The Dream (2024) capturing the spirit of American wanderlust, subcultures, the search for femininity and the pain of heartbreak. Wosinska’s work and book projects have been exhibited at Fahey/Klein Gallery (Los Angeles) Praz Delavallade Gallery (Los Angeles) and Webber Gallery (London and Los Angeles), with Leftovers Of Love securing a place in the MoMA Library Collection. Wosinska's retrospective show ‘In Between Life’ was at Malaga’s Centro Cultural during Moments Festival 2023 and a retrospective show for the launch of Fulfill The Dream at Fahey/Klein Gallery (Los Angeles) April 18th 2024.
