I'm a photographer. I'm an artist. I am the daughter of a chimney
sweep. Since childhood my world was tangential to the world of
chimney sweeps. This world was full of rules, rights, honor and class.
World, whose integral part and attribute was uniform, high-hat and
brush. In this world everyone uses specific language and there's a
tradition passed down from father to son. My father had only
daughters, so a very long time I thought I'd go in his footsteps. I've
always been proud of the fact that I am the daughter of a chimney
sweep. When I started taking photos, I knew that would be the day
when I will come with camera to this world. When I discovered the
technique of wet collodion, I knew it was a good time. For the last half
year I photographed chimney sweeps working in Krakow, in technique
wet plate collodion.
