ABOUT ME
At the tender age of 22, I packed my backpack, bid farewell to my native Poland, and embarked on a thrilling adventure to explore the world beyond my horizon. For twenty years, I roamed the globe, living in Switzerland, England, France, the Caribbean, and the USA, and immersing myself in the diverse cultures and ways of life of the people I encountered along the way. This ex-pat life gifted me with a rare opportunity to connect with individuals, savor their cuisine, share in their stories, and bask in the essence of their homelands. The collective experience enriched my soul and awakened my appreciation for our magnificent planet and the people that inhabit it.
As I journeyed, photography was the perfect medium to capture the essence of my experiences, to freeze time and preserve fleeting moments in a tangible form. Photography is my passion, a natural extension of my love for the visual arts and a creative outlet that allows me to express myself in ways words cannot.
When I peer through my camera lens and capture something beautiful, my eyes dance with joy, and my heart overflows with gratitude. I relish the opportunity to preserve these moments and share them with others, to provide a glimpse into the world.
My eyes dance with delight when I catch sight of something beautiful and unique through my camera's lens. There's a sense of magic that comes with capturing fleeting moments, and I feel incredibly lucky to freeze time and share my vision with others.
My first foray into ocean life was sailing a boat from Europe to the Caribbean, and for the past decade, the islands between the Virgin Islands and Trinidad have been my home. Here, I've had the privilege of capturing the essence of these lands, the people, and their cultures through my photography. Every image is a testament to the sights, sounds, and flavors that have enriched my life.
There's a certain intimacy that comes with photographing people, whether candidly or through formal portraits. Through my lens, I strive to capture their spirit, their inner selves, and to help them share their unique essence with the world. It's a humbling experience to document the beauty of humanity in all its forms.
