I’m a Polish-born photographer and documentarian currently based in United States. I was raised in Silesia, a region shaped by coal, concrete, and quiet endurance. That landscape—both physical and emotional—formed my earliest visual language: one attuned to texture, atmosphere, and human presence in overlooked places.
I began photographing in 2002, with no formal art education, just a simple film camera and a scientist’s curiosity. What began as instinct became discipline. I photographed daily, taught myself darkroom work, explored large-format film, and slowly built a practice defined not by speed or spectacle, but by patience and care.
My work often unfolds in quiet spaces—small towns, domestic interiors, remote landscapes. I’m drawn to the emotional residue of places and to people whose stories reveal strength without asking for attention. Whether I’m photographing an aging mining town in Poland or a frozen outpost in Alaska, my focus remains the same: to understand, to stay present, and to make something that honors the reality of another life.
Today, I blend photography with sound, research, and slow observation. I continue to work independently, on long-form essays that explore what it means to endure with dignity in a complicated world.
I consider myself a collector—not just of objects, but of images and experiences. Through my photography, I’m always cataloging the world around me, looking for patterns, rhythms, and repeating symbols. Each photo is like a sentence, and together they form stories that can stretch on like chapters in a never-ending novel.
As my projects evolve, I often return to certain details, refining the images until the narrative feels whole. That’s why this website and my project catalogs may change over time, reflecting ongoing updates and edits. My goal isn’t just to show what something looks like, but to capture its deeper essence and give each project a true documentary feel.
