London-based Polish visual artist & photographer working with portraiture and storytelling, specialising in heritage photographic techniques such as glass plate photography - wet collodion technique. Exhibited worldwide by Aperture Gallery, Photo Vogue, her work has been recognised internationally and supported by WeTransfer, V&A Museum & Royal Photographic Society.

Magda Kuca uses historical photographic techniques to reflect on the links between personal memory, ancestry and folklore. Her projects draw on personal experience, pagan traditions and Slavic culture in an ongoing investigation into the connection between human and nature.
I work with heritage institutions, brands, creative professionals and private clients. My commissions range from public-facing artworks, museum projects and participatory workshops to album covers and portraiture for film, music and the wider creative industries. Previous clients include institutions, brands & businesses such as BBC, Nike ACG x Club 99, The British Museum, or Kew Gardens.
One-to-one photography mentorship and specialist training in historic and alternative photographic processes. From personal narratives, project grants and conceptual series to wet plate collodion and experimental techniques, I offer tailored technical and creative support in my West London artist studio.
