Born in Poland in 1977 and raised in Germany, I grew up surrounded by music — artists like Mike Oldfield, Enigma, Prince, Depeche Mode and many others shaped the way I saw and felt the world.
For a long time, I drifted between jobs, places, and phases of silence.
Photography didn’t enter my life until much later.
I bought my camera after watching a documentary about astrophotographers.
The images of the Milky Way fascinated me — until I realized how many people were doing the same thing, often in the same way. I started looking elsewhere.
Influenced by music from a young age, I had once tried making my own tracks.
Later, I discovered photography could be just as powerful: like music, a single image can carry a mood, provoke emotion, or create a moment that stays with you.
Over time, I moved through landscapes, cityscapes, street photography — and yet most of it felt already seen.
Things only started to click when I stopped looking up, and sat down — literally — on sidewalks at night, photographing quiet corners, terraces, empty chairs, forgotten cables. That’s where the feeling came: this is mine.
For me, a photograph isn’t finished when it’s taken. Just like a raw demo track, it often needs shaping. Sometimes the atmosphere is already there. Other times, it takes patience, layering, and trust in the material.
This is the space where my work now lives: somewhere between sound and silence, between shadow and structure — always looking for that unexpected moment that says, yes. That’s it.
I don’t work on images constantly. The strongest work happens late at night, alone at the computer, headphones on — ...when the image finally starts to resonate.. That’s when I know: now is the time.
I’m still looking. But I trust the process — and the echoes from somewhere far beyond the mainstream
