Artistic Projects
I use B&W in my artistic work. Shadows and lights, contrasts and darkness are much more multidimensional and allow me to express more than colours.
I’m not really interested in documenting the scenes and places. I want my work to express my feelings and my own vision. I constantly discover places which harmonize with my creativeness. What is important is that every step of creating the image is performed by me. Taking picture, working in the digital darkroom and printing. I really care about my technical skills. I have to be sure that I can depend on my knowledge and with subtle movements I can adapt reality from the pure raw file to my personal vision.

Tuition
My work as a photographer is not limited to personal projects. I also work as a photography trainer. I’m an Adobe Lightroom specialist. I teach beginners and more experienced photographers.
I offer individual consultations online. I teach how to use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to get the best results.
You can also join me in the photography workshop in Europe. I’m mostly running one-to-one premium trips. I find this way of working the most beneficial for my students. We are going together through the entire process of creating a photo. I teach how to find an interesting frame and build a vision of the image. I support my students with technical challenges – choosing the right focal length and making correct exposure. Eventually we work on the post processing and printing the final version of the photo. My workshop’s participants are winning photography competitions and presenting their work at exhibitions.

Exhibitions
My first individual exhibition took place in 2011. I exhibited my work in my hometown in Poland. It was a great experience when I saw my printed work on the wall. Since then, I have attached great importance to printing. I’m trying to show the work not only in online galleries. And I teach my students how to prepare files for printing and how to prepare the exhibition.
