Karolina Wojtasik was born in Warsaw, Poland. In 1986, at the age of four, she moved with her family to New York. She first picked up a camera when she was 13 years old. In fact, she made her first camera: a pinhole made out of an oatmeal box. After developing her first image, she spent the majority of her junior and high school years in the red glow of the darkroom. She studied at the University of Albany and then at the International Center of Photography. Karolina presently resides in Brooklyn, NY. She shoots professionally within the world of advertising and continues on her personal journey of documentary work.
