I am a photographer from New Britain, Connecticut. I was born and raised in Krakow, Poland. I've always had an inner passion for photography, but it bloomed while I was taking a photography class as an art elective for my Business Degree. I've been learning and pushing myself to grow in all areas of my photography since 2011. During this time I took many photography classes, workshops and learned the crucial fundamentals of photography. I've always been interested in the human's face and the figure, which has led me to nontraditional portraiture, rendered with strong color, pattern and detail. I believe there is a beauty in every person. It is my goal to reveal this through my photographic skills and my camera. My passion is to discover this beauty through light and shadow. I enjoy exploring my imagination using my creativity. For me, photography should cause an interaction between the viewer and the image - taking the mind way from the present into the realm of memory and dream.
