Anna Żebrowska is a 29-year-old photographer from Poland and a lover of portraits .

Żebrowska prefers to work with women who are not models by trade , enjoying the sensation of “ discovering ” them as they unfold before her lens . “ I adore showing them how incredibly beautiful and interesting they are because they often don ’ t know that about themselves .
