After sixteen years as a model in the fashion industry, Zosia Promińska now turns her gaze to the
world that shaped her. Her work explores the dynamics of power and the fragile process of
growing up from a perspective that is both personal and critical. Trained in ethnolinguistics at
Adam Mickiewicz University, she brings an anthropological sensibility to her images, marked by
an awareness of language, culture, and human connection.

Working between Zurich and Portugal, Promińska approaches photography with a structured and
perceptive eye while leaving space for what she calls “accidents” — the unplanned moments that
let an image come to life. Her portraits capture vulnerability, gestures, and expressions that
suggest untold stories. Moving fluidly between personal and commissioned projects, she allows
each to inform the other, carrying the narrative depth of her art into her commercial work and the
immediacy of assignments back into her explorations.

Promińska's debut book "Future Perfect" was published by Kehrer in 2021. Her work has been
recognised with the Krakow Photomonth ShowOff award, nominated for ReGeneration5 at Musée
de l’Elysée, and shortlisted as a finalist for the vfg-Nachwuchspreis; it has also been exhibited in
solo shows at Instytut Fotografii Fort in Poland and Images Vevey in Switzerland.
