In 2017, I grabbed the camera and started traveling. On a daily basis, I sell souvenirs in the Cloth Hall - one of the main monuments in Krakow (Poland), my hometown, but once a month I combine work with trips.
I have traveled to Iceland three times (and I plan to do a fourth), also I've been to Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Portugal, Morocco, Thailand, and Myanmar. I travel a lot around Poland where I come from. What is the common denominator? I have an eye on the camera viewfinder or the phone display paired with the drone at all times.
I plan to go to the USA, Jordan, and Lofoten. Later, I plan to ride the Balkans, and Europe in one go. I even got some crazy ideas like traveling from Poland to Vietnam by car.
So far, I have won a few photo contests, and this is just a prologue to the passion of my life.

Photography is my sense of existence. I don't have a hand in any art or music, and I've always needed a vent for my emotions, a kind of fuse in the daily chase of life.
Although there are times (and sometimes weeks or months) when I don't touch my camera, don't go anywhere - nevertheless, not a day goes by that I don't think about creating photos. However, like any creator, at some point, I became fixated on various social networks, and I felt that the last two years for this reason alone have not been the best for me - constant overexertion and whiplash watching others. That's why I haven't published my photos for a long time (or have done so very occasionally), and often don't even process them - photography has become an end in itself for me.
In the meantime, I got a little lost in what I would like to photograph and decided that I would let myself be carried away by the wave - at the moment I'm standing a little apart, but I'm working on not stressing myself out, because I'm not accountable to anyone. On the other hand, I am a very ambitious person who wants to do everything at once and all the time, but life goes on with its own rhythm. I feel the need to redefine myself, and my photography. The need to find my style anew. However, it is going for me so far like a snail on a sidewalk.
Wow! Where was that taken? You should put locations with your photos
This shot reminds me of Old West photos. I don't know why but I expected to see teepees! Very good work.
I've never been a professional photographer, I've avoided it like a fire - I didn't want the camera to get ugly for me, like many of my photographer friends. However, recently I happened to have some cool, challenging assignments, and it brought me great satisfaction to see my clients smile and be happy. When one of the biggest women in Poland, an icon of TV and travel and social programs, raves about your work - then the whole pursuit of likes or algorithm fades.
I feel like I'm becoming more of an analog photographer, but also an analog person. More and more I feel like cutting myself off from everything and living in a van, catching the internet at a gas station once a week, just to remind myself how much I don't need it to be happy. Create for the sake of creating, and if already in the form of a commission, then ambitious projects, not a hatchet job to stay afloat.
The world is just too fascinating not to try to capture it.
You need to apply to National Geographic. Your eye for capturing the moment is phenomenal
I love mountains like this because they look like castles that were turn into stone until someone is kissed.
Another great composition of geometric figures sorrounded by wildness and the solitary human contrasting.
Dragons tail in TN and NC? The I129? Looks exactly like it's switch backs.
Great photos. Would like to have had more information about the locations.
