SHOWREEL 2025
I'm a cinematographer, and it's through my photos that I tell stories. I primarily create images for feature films, documentaries, advertising campaigns, television projects, and engage in a broad range of photography.
I graduated from the Catholic University of Lublin, Faculty of Social Sciences, with a degree in Journalism and Social Communication. I also studied Cinematography at the AMA Film Academy in Kraków.
I gained experience on film and television sets, collaborating with brands such as:
Warner Bros., ATM GRUPA, HBO MAX, AZJA EXPRESS, Eccholine oraz ARRI LONDON.
The films I created have been showcased at film festivals around the world, including: Tokyo Film Awards, Diamond Bell International Film Festival, Berlin Short Film Festival, and Madrid Film Awards.
At the age of 14, I started assisting my parents with their film and television productions. Even then, I felt that this was the path I wanted to follow in life, and since that time, I have been steadily deepening my understanding of the art of filmmaking.
I gained practical experience mainly in Warsaw, working as a freelancer and collaborating with companies such as ATM System, JakeVision, and Constantin Entertainment. For the past four years, I've also worked with the Belgian company Eccholine, and I've had the pleasure of co-creating the popular television format *Asia Express*, which has taken me on countless journeys across Asia. I am incredibly proud of this, as it allows me to combine my passion for cinematography with my other great passion—traveling. This amazing experience lets me explore the world while growing professionally.
I have completed four international film projects, working with crews from around the world. In 2022, I had the opportunity to participate in a training program at ARRI London, where I gained experience working with one of the leading manufacturers of film equipment.
I am fluent in English and have a basic knowledge of Russian and Spanish. My passion for audiovisual media, combined with years of experience, enables me to create emotionally rich and high-quality visuals that effectively tell stories.
Privately, I have been interested in the art of new circus since childhood. I practice juggling, as well as walking on a tightrope, riding a unicycle, and juggling various objects. It is a form of expression that gives me a sense of freedom while also allowing me to continuously improve myself. In my free time, I dedicate myself to these passions, which also influence my approach to work and film creation.
I dream of creating feature-length films in the future and working as a cinematographer on at least one installment of *Star Wars*. This is my great professional ambition, which drives me to continually develop and strive for perfection in the art of cinematography.
