About me
My name is Pawel Winnicki. I'm keen to capture something different with my photography, by using natural light to capture love, passion and all those subtle moments in between.

Family Photography for Canvas Print | Southampton | Hampshire
A portrait or family photography using natural light can be as good as when shot in a photo studio. I think sometimes it's even better, as we can get far more creative ideas and interesting outcomes.
Today I present a photo taken in a living room where ambient light was coming through from a balcony window behind me. The idea was to take a few portrait shots and use one of them for a large canvas print.
This photo is special, as it's the very first shot from the session! Enjoy:

Engagement Photo Session | Royal Victoria Country Park | Netley Abbey Southampton | Hampshire
Meet Natasza, James, and their cute 10 month old daughter Kaya.
This amazing couple chose Netley Abbey, Royal Victoria Country Park in Southampton as the spot for their engagement photo session. Being in front of the camera is not an easy job so we all decided that most of the pictures would be taken naturally, as some of the best shots are the ones that come without people posing much. After just a few shots I was absolutely amazed by how easy-going and fun the couple were. I realized that my session time would depend on how long Kaja was happy and content (In other words, the session will be over if Kaya says so, and those who have a baby will understand what I mean!)
With this in mind, we quickly found the best spots to take pictures. Spots that would allow us to create beautiful pictures full of magic moments, love and emotion that just can't be posed. Enjoy:

Awaiting… | Pregnancy Photography | Hampshire
Pregnancy is one of those real miracles that happen in front of your eyes. It's a special journey in a women's life; full of genuine moments and emotions. Because of its uniqueness, is worth considering having a pregnancy session to keep those memories forever with you. So Mums-to-be, don't be afraid, the camera doesn’t bite! ;)
All the best for Aneta and Lukasz with their second baby on its way... Enjoy:

Mexico | Playa Del Carmen | Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal
Amazing Mexico; another Caribbean destination on our holiday map. After seeing other Caribbean countries, I would say Mexico is a great destination for holidaymakers who like to explore the places that they go to. We stayed at Iberostar Tucan hotel in Playa Del Carmen; a small, mainly tourist-oriented city about one hour south from the famous Cancun city. Playa Del Carmen is the perfect place for nightlife, with many amazing pubs and restaurants to choose from. One thing that you must do is go to Coco Bongo - an incredible discotheque-style show themed with famous movies, bands and musicians. One time there is not enough for many - it is really worth it!
For those who like more beach-type relaxing I would highly recommend Playa Paraiso Beach; one of the most beautiful in Mexico. It's about 40 minutes’ drive from Playa Del Carmen and is very popular due to its amazing rock cliffs, soft, sandy beach and Tulum ruins. Here you’ll need to be aware that by choosing an excursion to see it, you won’t have time enjoy the two breath-taking beaches. Instead consider hiring a taxi or car as the price should be around the same fee. We also saw the Chichen Itza Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Cuzumel Island with the beautifully designed Iberostar Cozumel Hotel and Valladolid City with its colonial-style city centre.
As I mentioned at the beginning, there is much more to see. So I hope someday I will return to Mexico to explore it more deeply. But for now, all i can do is to feed my hope with pictures that I've managed to take there. Enjoy:

Newborn Photo Session | Baby Photography | Hampshire | Southampton
Nadia and her parents have appeared in one of my previous posts, which was just a snippet of this session. Now it's time to review my full report from that day. It was an amazing experience to photograph the small baby whereby, due to the nature of this kind of session, the expected outcome is to create something cute and soft. Having this on my mind, I was keen to avoid sharpening images as much as is possible to keep the natural softness. I Hope that I've managed to achieve it so that you all will enjoy these lovely images:

Wedding Photographer | Documentary | Hampshire | Southampton
I'm really proud to finally invite you to see some of my wedding photography.
It's actually a sneak peek of my younger brother's wedding. I'm glad that the light conditions allowed me to use my camera in the church, as well as at the reception.
99 percent of these pictures where taken using a photo-journalistic approach to wedding photography. - So that later, even after 30 year's time, my brother and his wife will be able to 'travel back in time' to those magical moments when I was witness to their wedding. Enjoy!
