Biography
I was born in soviet Poland where I found my calling in the spatial perception and geometric patterns of architecture. After finishing my studies in architecture, I moved to Paris, where I have lived ever since. I discovered street photography in November 2018, during a workshop by Maciej Dakowicz in Mandalay, Burma. That was the first spark that incited a whole photography related trips.
When I go out in the street with my camera, I have no precise idea of what I am going to photograph. A priori everything interests me, the ordinary scenes, the details, the light, the colors, the shapes and above all the people inspire me. I respect people, I don’t want to attack them. I don’t use flash, ever. My presence is accepted, why I don’t know. I never put people in a situation. I adapt to the scene, I try to preserve natural expressions. I make candid street photos, simplifying the chaotic mess of life with a sense of beauty, to bring out some mystery and order. I love to capture those moments that make every moment beautiful in everyday life.
