Three sandbox friends. One idea for a lifetime.
We didn't start with a business plan. We had a shared childhood, garage experiments, and the belief that photos deserve a better form than a pixel on a screen.
We're three friends from Poland who've been creating together for years. Bolot Studio is the result of our fascination with metal printing technology. We make photo prints — sharp, durable, waterproof, with a matte or glossy finish. The kind that still look great twenty years from now.

How it happened
Three stages, one direction.
The neighbourhood and shared ideas
We've known each other for as long as we can remember. We grew up in the same neighbourhood in Poland — same playgrounds, same schools, same ideas about building things together. Even then, we knew the three of us were better together.
From the garage to the world
We grew up but never grew apart. Crayons turned into cameras, toys into tools. Hours in the garage turned into first attempts — printing, designing, testing materials. We were looking for a way to make photos last longer than on Instagram.
The first print
We remember that day. The customer picked up their print, looked at it — and went quiet. Then they said it was the best gift they'd ever received. That's when we knew this made sense.
Who we are
Two of the three who work on this every day.
Radek Sochecki
CEO
Has been working with print technology and materials for over 8 years. He came up with Bolot Studio and refined our process so that every print is perfect. Quality isn't just a word for him — it's the standard.

Why we do this
We have a simple mission — to give your photos the form they deserve. We don't want to be just another online print shop. We want the print you get from us to still be on your wall when you're showing it to your grandchildren.
