Filip Konikowski
Filip Konikowski is a Melbourne based fine art, portrait and commercial photographer known for his strikingly detailed, narrative rich imagery. Born in Dortmund, Germany to Polish immigrant parents and migrating early to Australia, Filip brings a multicultural perspective that sets his artistic vision apart.
Surrounded by creativity from childhood, his father, Ryszard Konikowski, is an internationally recognised artist, Filip developed a rigorous eye for composition and lighting that defines his aesthetic.
With over two decades shaping Melbourne’s contemporary art scene, his work spans fashion, music, and art world figures, resulting in features in global publications such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Vault, and inclusion in the National Gallery of Victoria’s 200 Years of Australian Fashion exhibition.
Among his most celebrated series is Vintage Car Porn, an evocative project spotlighting classic‑car culture globally, which culminated in a solo show in early 2021 and a self‑published volume in 2024.
Filip’s photographic signature blends cinematic detail, emotional resonance and visual storytelling, whether in fine art, portraiture or editorial commissions.
