About me
I falled into photography during journalism studies - so I was over 20 years old. My first professional work was for local newspaper - it was 2001. I am sure about date, becouse one of my strongest memories from that time is about day when I was coming back to my editorial office, and recognized in electronic store shopwindow, that big plane's crashing the World Trade Center tower.
The pictures I saw next days are still alive in me. And I believe, that experience, and similar that happened later formed my point of thinking about photography - I believe that good pictures may stay strong as monuments in our minds. I love the works with history, such like documentary series of Sebastiao Salgado, or Nadav Kander's portfolio in it's wide range of topics.
I left professional photography for about 15 years - I was looking for may own way of photographying - I was still in love with photograpy, but was shooting in different styles, inspired with so many great artists and projects. All this time I was working in the office, and I treated photography as a hobby, devoting every free moment to that.
During these years I took part in local group exhibitions
VI 2009 Miejskie Centrum Kultury w Skarżysku Kamiennej
VIII 2009 Muzeum Historii Kielc
III 2010 Baza Zbożowa
Between 2015/2016, as one of result of changes in my personal life, I decided to turn photography into my professional job.
