About me
I sometimes think, I was taking pictures all my life, but it`s not true. After graduating in 1976 from the Warsaw University with a diploma in sinology I started working in the polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the same time I bought my first camera. A nice job, a good camera, life was easy and pleasant. But something inside me was telling me, that it`s not the thing I should do. So after 3 years I changed everything and started working as a press photographer. In 1992 I quite my last job in a weekly and started as a freelancer in landscape and architecture photography…and that’s what I`m still doing. It’s a kind of passion, a way of life, in pursue of the ever changing light.
Below, is a list of my achievements in the last 20 years.
I cooperate with big and small advertising agencies working in Poland, among them Saatchi&Saatchi, Leo Burnett, Euro RSCG, DDB Corporate Profiles. Here are some of our clients: Citroen, Norwich Union, Era GSM, McDonalds, Ecco-Ceza, Eli Lily, Statoil, Novo Nordisk, Merck. Calendars was the main field of our cooperation.
