I specialize in food and architecture photography. I studied architecture (Gdansk University of Technology) and history of art (Gdansk University).
I am a finalist of prestigious art and photography contests: Prix de la Photographie Paris, Debuts, and Pomeranian Art Triennale among others. Apart from that, my photographs have been published in some of the best Icelandic magazines — ‘Fæða/Food’ and ‘Í boði náttúrunnar’.
Apart from commercial photography, I love to work on my personal art projects.
In my art projects, I focus on seemingly insignificant, negligible moments, objects, and places. I think that the strongest photographs come out of reality, are rooted in the real. Silence intrigues me. What interests me most, is confronting the descriptive precision of the medium with the intangible.
I am an avid traveler. Because of my fascination with faraway places in the north, I have lived for a few years in Iceland and Norwegian Lapland.
