I try different photography genres: from nature to documentary, Form pet's to abstract and conceptual photography. I hope I'll never stop exploring. My motto is a quote from Jonathan Carroll: "A style is, in a way, the inability to do something differently"

entry description
This is a part of the series that is a very critical comment to Polish way of thinking and living. A few years of an ultra-right populistic party regime opened Polish Pandora’s box and awaken mentality of former serfs, all the fears, nationalistic ideas, hate towards everything and everyone who is different. Here you have fulsome affection for traditions and religious symbols, drinking vodka under the ubiquitous crucifix, trashy colours, like those found on old photographs... Here you have people who are proud of their coarse and boorish nature. This is just a caricature. The pictures were post-processed intentionally in a showy, gimcrack manner just to show the nature of some part of the Polish society.about the photographer
I am a Warsaw-based photographer. I am a member of Polish Association of Artist Photographers (ZPAF). I cooperate with FORUM Polish Photography Agency and publish my pictures in many press titles, as well as in albums and books. I have been an academic teacher for almost 30 years. In 2008 I started my own business that focuses on photo-educational work and foto-psy.pl dealing with pet's photography.I try different photography genres: from nature to documentary, Form pet's to abstract and conceptual photography.
