I'm a lifestyle, couple, family, personal branding and elopement & destination wedding photographer. Sunset and outdoor lover, visual artist and chaser of candid and authentic moments. I am based out of Tulum, Mexico and available worldwide.

Work with me, if you are looking to co-create with someone who provides a service from the heart, driven by passion and joy for the process of creating beautiful images, experimenting with new ideas and making visions come to life. Join the world of a passionate creator who is inviting you to be part of the magic.

I was born in Poland and grew up in Germany, where we moved when I was 1.5 years old.

In 2010 I left my job as a primary school teacher and gave up my appartment and belongings to travel the world and work as a dive instructor. I lived in Greece, Egypt, Mexico, New Zealand, The Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, Fiji, Cayman Islands and travelled to over 60 countries.

In January 2021 I came to Mexico on a one way ticket and ended up staying. I bought a tiny house in the jungle and made Tulum my home base, which was a life changing step for me, as I hadn't owned a chair in over a decade and suddenly I was a house owner.

That's when I created @tulumphotography.by.karolina

Even though photography has been a big fascination from day one using a film camera, it became a true passion when I started travelling and living as a nomad full time. Back then I was using a simple point and shoot camera. One of these water and shock proof types that could handle my adventure travels. Even though the photos weren't high quality it was all about capturing the moment and the essence of the place.

In recent years I upgraded my gear and took my photography to a professional level, and went all in. I've been truly grateful for this experience and every single photoshoot I had. Every client and photoshoot is unique and I've made some amazing friends along the way.

Let's connect and create something memorable together!
