Szymon Szcześniak
Szymon Szcześniak is a distinguished Polish portraitist and commercial photographer based in Warsaw, known for striking portrait work, high-end commercial collaborations, and educational workshops for photographers. This custom Squarespace website was designed to present his work through a refined, editorial-inspired digital experience that balances artistic expression with professional credibility.
Project Overview
Custom Squarespace website design for a portrait and commercial photographer with curated portfolio structure, editorial styling, and a premium user experience.
Szymon needed a website that could support multiple sides of his work without losing clarity or cohesion, from commercial photography and portraiture to workshops, press features, and print sales. The goal was to create a digital presence that felt elevated, visually restrained, and portfolio-led while still guiding visitors naturally toward inquiries, collaborations, and bookings.
Through intentional spacing, minimalist typography, curated content flow, and a structure designed to let imagery lead, the website was carefully built to create a calm and immersive viewing experience. Distinct portfolio sections, workshop information, and press features were organized in a way that feels seamless, professional, and easy to navigate while reinforcing the premium nature of the brand.
The final result positions Szymon Szcześniak as a leading portrait and commercial photographer with a strong editorial identity and authoritative online presence, creating a website experience that feels refined, intentional, and aligned with the caliber of his work.

Here’s what working together feels like
-
01 — Getting started
Understanding your current situation
Once you reach out, we’ll connect via a free consultation call or email, whichever feels more natural for you.
This 1st step is simply about understanding where you are now, what feels unclear or stuck, and what you actually need your website to do for your business.
No pressure to have everything figured out, this is where clarity begins.
-
02 — Strategy & direction
Turning ideas into structure
If we decide to move forward, I’ll guide you through a simple onboarding process so everything feels organized from the start.
You’ll receive a clear direction for content, structure, and priorities, along with access to your Client Portal where everything is kept in one place.
This stage is about removing uncertainty and defining a strong foundation before design begins.
-
03 — Design & implementation
Bringing everything together
This is where your website comes to life.
From structure and design to SEO setup and implementation, everything is handled with care and intention so the final result feels aligned, cohesive, and built to support your goals.
You’ll be involved at key stages for feedback, but the process is designed to feel supportive and simple, not technical or overwhelming. + I’ll train you at the end!
Thinking about a project?
Whether you’re starting from scratch, redesigning an existing site, or trying to improve how you show up online, we can talk through what would actually make the biggest difference for your business.
You can get in touch via the contact form or email me directly at hello@jolievibes.studio. I usually respond within one business day.
If you’d rather talk things through first, you can also book a free consultation call.
Most people reach out while they’re still figuring things out, and that’s completely fine. You don’t need a fully formed plan before getting in touch.
