Born in 1984. I was brought upin pionki, a small industrial town in central poland. Ever since I was a kid I was very interested in exploring my neighbourhood and I knew I wanted to travel in the future.

I went to university in krakow where I studied dentistry. It wasn’t until then when I got my first camera and started to shoot. After graduation I started to travel more. My camera bacame my travel companion and the one thing I would not leave home without. At first I was mostly shooting away from home, soaking in the fascinating world I was discovering.

Recently I started to shoot more ‘on my door step’. I find this much more challenging.

I try to look for interesting moments and juxtapostion in the everydaylife. I like vivid colours and a little bit of humour in my photographs.

Here some of my favourite photos from the last couple years.
