The Producers
MALGORZATA SANIEWSKA (b. Warsaw, POLAND, 02/06/1981) moved to New York in 2003 where she discovered a passion for photography which enabled her to produce photographic work for ID Models, BMG Models, Q Models and many others. After shooting for the Garo Sparo & Cobos Couture clothing lines, her work in photography transitioned into a full time commitment. She interned for Sante D'Orazio Studios, Milk Studio and was an assistant for Dan & Corina Lecca during NYC's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in 2008.
Her portfolio is diverse and includes work shot for various brands of jewelry & accessories, motion pictures, advertisements and NYC nightlife. It was her work in the NYC nightlife scene that led her to the World of Burlesque. Maggie was introduced to the burlesque scene several years ago, and as the art form moved from back alley, underground cabarets into mainstream film and entertainment, she became inspired to capture the beauty of it in her photography projects.
