“Let your smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile.”

I’m not one of those photographers who was given a camera as a gift at 10 years old. In high school I bought myself my first camera, it was a Canon A70. I couldn’t leave the house without it, I was hooked straight away. Since then photography has been a huge part of my life and I feel very lucky to have made a living from my passion.

I grew up in the small town Wadowice in Poland and I still remember the day I moved to the “big city” to study. I was 21 and despite the fact that I’m 6’6 tall I felt really small, intimidated by the number of people on the street. I studied for my Bachelor Degree (Design & Photography) over 4 years. Had some truly inspiring teachers that changed my life goals. By then I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life – shooting and retouching. I love Photoshop so much that I can easily call it my twin brother.

I love my working life, having spent ten years in the industry with my first role as a graphic designer / photographer worked up to creative director giving me the foundations to develop my knowledge about complex projects and how to run them. Since moving to Perth in 2014 I have been involved with many design and photography projects.
