Agata Stoinska is a Polish photographer who has achieved considerable success since arriving in Ireland in 2003. A fully-qualified architect, opportunities presented themselves in Dublin that have allowed her to engage in a photographic career and further develop her passion for this field. In April 2007 she opened her own inner-city studio here, Studio 16.5. Her serious involvement in photography began while on an architectural scholarship in the USA and the attendant college ran photography classes. She then continued her studies at the European Academy of Photography in Warsaw. Her continuing work as a stills photographer in the Polish film industry lends precision, the creation of mysterious atmosphere and close connection with the model to her fashion work. Equally, the sensation of space and composition lead directly from her architectural background. Her Irish clients include Image, Irish Tatler, Confetti, Irish Brides, Wedding Irish Style, Dunnes Magazine, Totally Dublin, Social & Personal, Dunnes, Penney's, Endora, Laura Guidi, Live By Love, Richard Allen, Sasha, House of Color and Pamela Scott. She regularly provides the cover work for the much-transformed Sunday Independent fashion supplement, Life Agata has exhibited at a number of galleries, including High Risk Gallery, Chicago, Alchemia, Krakow. Recently she featured in the Unit_Y exhibition in Dublin.
