Film, Photography & Makeup Artistry
"Fitting in allows you to blend in with everyone else, but being different allows you to be yourself, to be unique and to be more creative.”
Sonya Parker
The Creationship Collective is a group of three individuals who are currently on a journey of realising projects that celebrate identity, expression and difference. Rather than focusing on what separates them, they have embraced each other, encouraging their individuality and passion, leading to a beautiful blend of photography, film and makeup artistry.

More recently, Karolina decided to tell people's stories producing films, in order to capture deeper, more nuanced perspectives, bringing untold stories to life.

The Realest You
'The Realest You' promises to be a kaleidoscopic exploration of identity and expression, using drag to challenge conventions and offer a deeper, more nuanced view of who we are.
At its heart, 'The Realest You' is a celebration of the multi-dimensional nature of human identity. The documentary aims to challenge the notion of a singular self by showcasing the complex layers that exist within each person. Through art of drag and photography, the collective hopes to offer viewers a deeper understanding of self-expression and the transformative power of embracing all aspects of one's identity. Filming for 'The Realest You' began in August 2024 with chapters shot in Manchester and Liverpool in the United Kingdom. The third chapter was filmed in the spring of 2025 in Germany (Zielony and Guhl's home country) with the fourth chapter slated for filming in Poland in autumn 2025.
