It’s hard to say which is stronger, Karolina Kuras’s love of ballet or her love of photography. Luckily for her, Karolina is able to combine both these passions as the primary photographer at the National Ballet of Canada.

The Early Days

While still in high school, one of Karolina’s teachers that took notice of her images began to nurture the idea that she should pursue photography as a career.

However, it wasn’t just Karolina’s high school teacher that noticed her talent.

The photographers that Karolina worked with in the early days of her career also noticed and encouraged her to pursue her natural talent in photography.

Karolina grew that talent by shooting weddings, portraits and fashion at runway shows and it was these experiences that have shaped the way Karolina approaches her photography.

Now, Karolina is combining that talent with her love and knowledge of ballet in what she calls her “dream come true” job with the National Ballet of Canada.
