About & Gear

I am based in Gliwice, Poland. I am not a professional photographer but few years ago I discovered that taking photos makes me happy, that this is my passion so take photos whenerver I can. I have a wonderful wife and two sons.

My shots were inspired by various photographers, situations, people, places or even music that I listen to. I try to find inspiration in everyday life. I don’t need London, New York or Tokyo to do Street Photography, I am sastisfied with whatever place I am in. I strongly believe that you can find amazing photo opportunities ANYWHERE. The same applies to photo equipment – I use one point and shoot camera – FUJI X100t and I am more than sure that camera that you use, lens that you crave, tons of photo equipment gathered in your closet can only distract you from what is the most important – showing the world with your own eyes and camera is just a tool, it is still your eye, nobody else’s eye.
