Sandra Mickiewicz is a documentary and portrait photographer based in London, whose work reflects both her journey through life and her dedication to telling authentic stories. Born in Poland in 1992, she moved to the United Kingdom in 2007. This transition marked a significant shift in her life, which eventually became intertwined with her growing interest in photography. In 20218, she graduated with a degree in photography from Middlesex University in London.
At a young age, Sandra had a natural inclination toward the arts, dabbling in painting and drawing before discovering photography at the age of 15. This shift to photography offered her a medium that enabled her to capture the intricacies of the world around her. What started as a hobby gradually transformed into a lifelong passion and professional pursuit.
Her photography is deeply influenced by her love for travel and her desire to explore different cultures. Travel has played a pivotal role in expanding her worldview and shaping the narratives she seeks to tell through her lens. Rather than simply documenting places, she focuses on the people and stories embedded within them. Her subjects are often individuals or communities that may be underrepresented or misunderstood. Her ability to immerse herself in these cultures and capture their intimate rituals speaks to her deep respect for their traditions and her desire to reveal the stories behind the cultural practices.
Her passion for travel is not just about seeking out new places to photograph but about immersing herself in new experiences that allow her to grow as an artist and human being. Each new destination is an opportunity for exploration—not just geographically, but also culturally and emotionally. Her photography transcends the simple act of taking pictures; it is a means of connection, understanding, and advocacy. Through her images, she invites us to reconsider our preconceived notions and encourages us to see the world—and the people in it—in all their complexity and beauty.
