Magdalena Wosinska Making It Her Own Way

Two hours and many windy roads later, I pull up to her fairytale-sized, wood-paneled home, perfectly tucked away within the Highland Park hills. “The door is open, make yourself at home!” Wosinska texts as I follow the road to her front door. Upon entering her massive wooden sanctuary, I stop in my tracks in complete visual awe. Inhaling the scent of freshly lit incense, I admire the dozens of vintage keepsakes and rare relics that line the walls. An impressive collection of multicolored vinyl albums stand almost ceiling high next to a record player already spinning classic melodies. Feeling as if I entered a rock legend’s temple, I quickly begin scanning her home, absorbing each intricate detail fearing I’ll forget this truly original moment.

LA Canvas Magazine - 'The Experience: Q+A with Magdalena Wosinska'

Magdalena Wosinska escaped from Poland and was listed as a “trader” by the age of nine. She received paid trips to Paris and Spain to shoot magazine covers at 17. She bought her own house in Los Angeles at 24. She played bass in a metal band and toured the world for eight years. She possesses a highly covetable resume of work, from shooting campaigns for companies like Urban Outfitters and Converse, editorials for Vogue, Spin and of course, LA CANVAS. For most individuals, this would take a lifetime to accomplish. For lifestyle photographer Wosinska, this was her reality all by the age of 32.
