About – Images of Passion

I am a graduate of the Faculty of Arts at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. I have been climbing since 2001, I belong to the Lublin Kotłownia Climbing Club and KS Korona in Krakow. I have the license of a sport climbing instructor since 2009. I started my adventure with a camera while still in college, but only when I have combined photography and climbing it has turned into a real passion. The fact that I am an active climber myself helps me to capture the beauty of movement and dynamics of the scenes photographed in the rocks. The camera is an inseparable part of my gear during trips to rock crags and mountains aroud the world. So far I have visited climbing crags not only in Poland, but also in Austria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, France, Spain, Germany, Morocco, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey, Italy. In addition to climbing and photographing climbers, I’m also interested in portrait photography and history of art. I live and work in Krakow permanently.
