Born on 14 January 1981 in Słupsk, Poland, at present living in Gdynia, Poland, a lawyer. I have been taking pictures since the beginning of 2003. After several months I was offered to take part in the 2nd International Photo Exhibition in Łódź, Poland (2003). The next year was unexpectedly successful for me as one of my pictures was presented at the “Menschen in Europa” Exhibition in Vienna, Austria. In 2005, thanks to the kindness of the Dean of the Law Faculty of Gdańsk University, I could have organized my first own exhibition. In 2006 I was awarded the 2nd place (among over 25 000 submitted pictures) in the contest organized by the American portal betterphoto.com, the 5th place in the FotoSurf contest organized by the Dutch photo magazine Focus and a prize in the 4th edition of the Baltic Photo Contest. And again I had a chance to organize an exhibition at the Law and Administration Faculty of Gdańsk University, entitled “Gdańsk – the Port City” under the honourable patronage of the President of Gdańsk, the Chancellor of Gdańsk University and the Dean of the Law and Administration Faculty of Gdańsk University (November 2006).

Photography is my great passion, a springboard from dullness of everyday life, the field where I look for a different view of reality. I try to improve my skills all the time – with greater or smaller success, I try to create something new as well as go beyond the patterns. At the moment I am aiming at fulfilling some new projects – mainly connected with portrait.
