Aga Karmol

International Multi-Award-Winner
Fine art photographer
Photoshop Tutor

I studied art and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. My passion for photography began with film cameras, when I started taking photos purely as a hobby. In time, my work led me to collaborate with Poland’s leading equestrian magazine, Koń Polski, where I regularly published photo stories from horseback journeys around the world. My equine-themed photographs and articles have also appeared in Forbes and National Geographic Traveller.

In 2005, I moved to London and became a UK correspondent for Koń Polski, covering equestrian events and writing features about the horse world in Britain. I was also accredited to photograph at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and the Queen’s Guard Open Day ahead of the Royal Wedding.

Since moving to Somerset in 2014, I have devoted myself to fine art photography. My equine portraits are inspired by the aesthetics of the old masters, yet created with modern tools — a digital camera and editing software.

In 2024, I was honoured to be named a finalist in the UK Equestrian Business Awards.
