Art isn’t defined by its medium—it’s the moments it captures, the emotions it evokes, and the stories it reveals.

Bageensky (Michal Baginski) is a London-based monochrome photographer specializing in portrait and fine art photography. His work explores light, shadow, and emotion, drawing inspiration from Pre-Raphaelite art, surrealism, and history. By blending intricate settings, thoughtful symbolism, and compelling characters, Bageensky challenges conventional perspectives while evoking timelessness and intimacy.

Through his meticulously crafted imagery, Bageensky invites viewers to reflect on universal themes and connect with the deeper layers of meaning in his work. The interplay of light and shadow is central to his approach, creating mood and emphasizing emotion in raw and honest portrayals of his subjects.

With over 20 years of experience designing and photographing luxury superyacht interiors—culminating in an Assouline book, as well as numerous coffee table books—and creating advertising campaigns for brands such as Aston Martin, Nissan, Marks & Spencer, Subaru, Rolex, and Westfield, his work seamlessly blends technical expertise with artistic vision.

His photography has been widely published in The Times, Harper's Bazaar, and Forbes, among others. Accolades include the TOP10 Masters of Creation Award at Brodziak Gallery, a Silver at Px3 Paris, a Bronze at the Refocus Awards, nine additional nominations, and recognition as the People's Vote winner at Px3 Paris. Recent collaborations, including a Dream Project scholarship with Szymon Brodziak, have reinvigorated his fine art practice.
