I have been fascinated by the camera since I was about 10 years old. That was still analogue. I have been through many subjects of photography, but the combination of my love of nature, the love of shape, art and colour and my other profession as body-mind therapist, makes that I like the style of artistic nude the most. I tend to call it "natural nude", as I like to work outside, in natural environments and make the model merge with nature.

Sometimes contrast can be a nice thing as well. Then the art part is bigger and the environment is the 'frame of the painting'. The model the painting.

I like to improvise and give the model a big role in that as well. Together you have more ideas and if something is close to you, it looks better. And more natural. I once shot with a model in a forest where she played as a child. The pictures are beautiful. She knew the place to well and so long already, she could really blend in.

But words are shallow. Please look at my pictures at:

I am not always in Poland. If I am here, I am either in Gdansk or Tychowo (near Koszalin). I have a car, so can travel a bit too.
