Bartosz Świątnicki
I was born in 1982 in Warsaw, where I live till today.
I work in the banking sector. Four years ago, I realized that I have a big need to do something creative. I’ve always loved cinema, especially films which made a visual impression on me, so photography was a logical choice.
In the beginning I was documenting my surroundings. I was taking pictures of places I’ve been visiting, pictures of my family and friends.
I’ve discovered street photography very fast. Since that time, I’ve been fascinated in it and my camera is always with me. It is a very addictive and exciting activity which became a very important part of my life.
I am a finalist of the ‘Moment street photo awards and finalist of the Italian street photo festival.
About The Collection…
The photographs in this collection, have been taken in my home town Warsaw and in other parts of Europe. Combining seemingly not matching elements makes it surprising, humorous, sometimes even surreal. In a familiar space I am trying to sense the potential of less obvious scenes and notice correlations, which are not visible to everyone at a first glance.
