Beata Czyzowska Young has a message for young photographers.
“Expensive camera and expensive equipment is not gonna make you an artist… some of my most popular and most rewarded photos have been taken with a simple point and shoot camera.
“The thing is, when you’re out shooting, don’t look for the obvious; look for something different and don’t be afraid to break some photography rules… you can be surprised what effects it can achieve.”
Beata should know. Her images are gobsmackingly beautiful.
Beata Czyzowska Young – under the sea
Beata’s eyes are always open to the world and its endless array of moods in light and weather. Early mornings, evenings, after rain… those fleeting in-between moments of fragility and magic. She looks for beauty in the details; her compositions are simple, focusing on texture and colour.

Beata Czyzowska Young – song of the rain
She was born in Poland, but moved to Australia several years ago, and now makes her permanent home on the Central Coast. She says she’s not sure if being Polish has any influence on her work; although “maybe a little bit. Poland is a very picturesque country and I can say that nature is one of my biggest inspirations.”

Beata Czyzowska Young – make it possible
She originally trained in Early Childhood Education, but came to photography in 2005, and is principally self-taught. “I’ve been always interested in arts and after I purchased my first digital camera I discovered that photography is not only about portraits , wedding shoots and sunsets … it’s so much more.”
“It’s about telling a story and creating something extraordinary with an ordinary tool. To me, photography is like painting with light.”

Beata Czyzowska Young – evening tunes
She counts many highlights in her career as a photographer, but it’s the simple things that speak to her most profoundly. “There are things that I’m proud of like having my work published and featured on CDs and books, and winning photography contests, but what I enjoy the most is emails from people from around the world complimenting and admiring my work and telling me how it has touched their hearts.”

The best piece of advice she’s ever had? “I’m not very good at taking advice.”

Hi Beata, was searching thru Wayfairs big one day sale on line and scrolling thru hundreds of prints , yours touched my heart..had to stop and look for more of your work. So, so beautiful, some brought tears and filled me with peace and love…
I am searching for my living room when you first walk in the front door,straight ahead is door way to kitchen,to left stairs upward, and to right small wall 6ft wide with aqua green chair in front of it, gray walls,and just a small doorbell way above chair…I feel this is an important focal point and the first area your eye is drawn to when entering… You have given me many choices… God bless you and keep you inspired and safe.
Thank You, Diane
