I was born and I live in Szczecin city in Poland. I graduated from Agricultural University with a master's degree in ichthyology engineering. I was working as a biologist at the National Marine Fisheries Research Institute. 

In the year 2000, I directed my interest in photography. This hobby turned very quickly into a real passion. Currently, I hold the official title of photo-artists of ASSOCIATION OF AUTORSPOLISH REPUBLIC’S PHOTOCLUB.

My works have been published in magazines, and on many general, and photography related websites. I was collaborating with Szczecin Opera and Szczecin Philharmonic. I am also collaborating with several local groups of photographers supporting the development of young photo-artists in my city. 

Cityscape is the usual subject of my photos. I like to show architecture as a minimalistic abstraction. An important part of my photos is a human being, who is in my opinion inherent to every urban landscape. He or she fits into the geometry, lines, and structures of the city. When I take a photo, I store just a fraction of a second on media. This fraction of the second is not a documentary. It's just a specific moment frozen in a frame. From now on, this moment starts to live with its own life. This process develops a story that never really happened but then has been remodeled in the viewer's mind.
