Bio

I work as an electrician in a shipyard on a daily basis, but photography, although not my profession, is my true passion. I come from Gdańsk, and from an early age, I have been fascinated by painting. As a child, I spent hours drawing and painting, trying to capture the world around me on paper. My adventure with photography began at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, when just before a trip to the mountains, I bought my first DSLR camera. Since then, photography has become an integral part of my life. I perceive the world through frames — they allow me to capture fleeting moments, emotions, and light. I draw most of my inspiration from nature, which requires attentiveness, humility, and respect. Photographing nature is not only a challenge for me, but also a source of deep emotions — even when no photo is taken, but I simply admire its beauty. I am also passionate about hiking and cycling trips, which allow me to experience the world more fully and discover new places with a camera in hand. I am equally eager to take my camera on walks around the city, where everyday surroundings surprise me with light, rhythm, and form. I especially favor the square format and black-and-white photography — simple, raw, but full of expression. In the past, I photographed in color, then I began to explore black-and-white photography, which for a time became my main passion. Currently, I combine both styles, trying to capture the world both in shades of black and white, and in the full palette of colors, noticing in them new emotions and depth that can tell a story in a completely different way. Recently, I’ve also been trying my hand at street photography — dynamic, unpredictable, showing everyday life in an authentic and spontaneous way. I also experiment with panoramic format, which allows me to capture the space and atmosphere of the photographed scene even more fully. My photographs have been published, among others, in the magazines Together, Foto-Kurier, in the artistic-historical quarterly Neony Tożsamości, as well as in local press. One of my photos also participated in the exhibition "GALERIA PRZEZ SZYBĘ – a completely different view of art", alongside many talented artists. In 2016, I won first place in the ASF International Fine Art Photography contest, and two other of my works were honored there. Until 2018, my works won awards in photography contests and were shown in spaces where photography met the sensitivity of viewers — at thematic exhibitions, post-competition shows, and also in urban spaces. Since 2020, I have been a member of the Polish Society of Nature Photographers (ZPFP). Since 2024, when I returned to participating in contests, my photographs have started to be noticed and awarded both in Poland and abroad. Photography is not only a passion for me — it’s a way of feeling and understanding the world. Sometimes, even when I don't return from the field with a finished photograph, the very act of being in contact with the surrounding reality satisfies me, because every moment and experience becomes a part of this story.
