Very Professional & Great Results.

I knew I needed a better LinkedIn photo but was too nervous to get a professional one done. After finally deciding my selfie skills weren’t up to scratch, I took the plunge and contacted Five Castles - and am so glad I did! Arek put me at ease immediately and the session was fun and really relaxed. I’m thrilled with the end result and will never bother with a selfie again!

Working with Arek is an experience, a very positive one! The results are amazing because Arek know how to make you feel comfortable. The session was fun, and to the objectives I had in mind! I highly recommend his services.

Arek was a pleasure to work with and exceeded my expectations with a set of fantastic photos.

Arek did a great job. I was very happy with the result and also with the speed of the simple headshot session.

It's IMPRESSIVE how Arek was really able to capture the excitement and fun for Entermission's Hosted Online Escape Rooms trailer. I'm confident that that the video will bring in lots of bookings. Arek is very knowledgeable about recording videos in Zoom to highlight individuals like in real life videography and the way he put together the video showed his professionalism and skill.

I am so happy with the results of my moving picture. I've already had so much positive feedback! Arek did such a great job helping me through the process and making it easy and fun. Thank you Arek!

Arek has helped our family with both family portraits as well as business photography for both my wife and my businesses. We have been very happy with the results every time.

I could not be more thrilled with the work that Arek did on my #portraitinmotion. He was able to bring his creativity and perfectionism to bring my vision to life. He collaborated incredibly well, and the end result was brilliant. Highly recommended

"Arek is not only a gem to work with but his genius captured my essence. His intuition is astounding and he just got me. Arek created an outstanding portrait in motion and still portraits that I can use on many different platforms. A beautiful experience." Thank you Arek and I look forward to working with you again.

Arek, thank you so much for the wonderful actor's headshots today! He is very professional and the amazing thing is that he knew what I was looking for and exceeded my expectations. I genuinely forgot that I was being photographed because he was so conversational through it all. He is now my go-to photographer! Highly Highly Highly! Recommend Five Castle Portraits!

I have had the pleasure of using Arek for my business photography on a number of occassions for headshots and business branding videos. Arek is able to beautifully capture and communicate my business purpose through his unique creativity. Thank you Arek!

Arek is an absolute professional. He knew exactly what I wanted and gave me something even better. HIGHLY RECCOMEND for Branding shots. You couldn't ask for a nicer person. Thankyou Arek.

from someone who hates having their photo taken this was a really fun session. Arek made sure my business head shot accurately reflected my personality and ensured I had the correct photo for each medium. Can't recommend enough.

I've engaged Arek on several occasions for family portraits and also corporate head shots. When working with Arek I completely forget I'm being photographed. He is a true master of his craft and I always trust I'll get stunning images that I'm excited to use.

Arek really knows what he is doing, he made our outdoor photo experience memorable and fun. My four legged kid was absolutely buggered after having a blast with Arek's creativity.

Arek from Five Castles Portraits is not only telling powerful stories through the photographs taken, but he is creating amazing experiences! I loved the attention to details and the communication. Very happy to have chosen a full day experience

Alek took the time to understand the essence of my message and what I was wanting to portray. He was so easy to work with and very prompt in his delivery and follow-up.

We contacted Arek originally for pet portraiture of our beautiful dog and the first time we meet he made the whole family (including the dog) at ease.

Amazing photographer and thrilled with my final wall prints of my two fur babies. Arek's ability to capture their personalities and the time and patience he showed went above and beyond. Can more than highly recommend his services.

I enjoyed being photographed by Arek for my professional profile. He made me feel at ease and I appreciated his clear directions. I'm very happy with the results! I'd recommend Arek to anyone who's uncomfortable in front of the camera.

Outstanding photos he does a great job

I highly recommend Five Castles Portraits. Great experience and fantastic art work for our walls. Arek took time getting to know us and helped us relax whilst capturing special moments.

I've got to say that I was not excited about having my photographs taken for my LinkedIn profile. However, Arek made it easy and fun, and I am super happy with the results. At all times I felt comfortable and we worked together to bring out the elements I wanted to see in the photos. Thank you for your work!

Arek is amazing He is professional, fun, listens to you & offers great suggestions that work. I highly recommended Five Castles

Arek was fantastic working with my children and the whole experience was excellent. The finished shots were absolutely brilliant.

Attention to detail and quality of work from the moment you walk into the Studio to the moment you take your photos home and proudly place them on your wall is next level!

Thank you so much for the positive and enlightening experience! They will forever hang on our walls and make us smile 😊

Our family portraits are amazing and we now have prints on our walls that we love

It was absolutely amazing working with Arek. He captured our moments prefectly. I couldnt be happier with the end results.

I had the privilege of being photographed by Arek who, beautifully translated my essence in  amazing images. It's very clear in his work, he brings to light the best out of people. Feeling grateful.

Thanks so much for our lovely family photos

Arek is a great photographer. Loved the photo you took of me.

I love I

Arek is amazing! He helped me with my business portraits and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. He is professional, creative, very easy to get along with and extremely thorough. Looking forward to working with him again!

The professionalism and care Arek takes with his work is second to none. Will definitely use Arek again and will pass his details on.

Then meeting at his studio brought tears to my eyes. Some of my little ones he's captured have since gone to their next existence and thanks to Arek, I have beautiful lasting memories. I have the most breathtaking photos of my family. From start to finish, the way Arek goes about his work is nothing short of brilliance. His personal style is evident in all he touches.

Thanks, Arek from Five Castle for the amazing photo shoot. You truly captured the essence of fun and love. It was a great experience from the start and I loved the fact you took the time to get to know both my children. The kids enjoyed it and I can't wait to hang the portrait in my home.

We had a lovely time with Arek. He was such a nice person to work with and made the extra steps with our daughter. Recommended to everyone who asks.👍👍

Thank you so much for the amazing photos and hard work you put in for our wedding photos. You are such a gifted photographer and your artistic sense and skill at capturing the moment is just superb. We are very grateful to know both you and Kate and we wish you nothing but the best! Thank you again!! :)

Arek has an amazing passion for photography and the evidence is in the products.

We had a magical time during our session and loved the photographs. Now they're proudly displayed on our walls and remind us of what is most precious to us. Highly recommend Arek to anyone looking for a great photographer and an amazing service.
