The photograph "Eruption" presents an extraordinary face of nature, visible only from an aerial perspective. A seemingly ordinary coastline transforms into a massive volcano during an eruption. As a result, one of Poland's reservoirs becomes, for a moment, a participant in an extraordinary scene in which the power of the elements plays a crucial role.

I am a Polish photographer. My personal project "The Flying Tales" was born out of my passion for aviation, traveling and exploring new places, in which I present the world around me exactly as I see it. A special place in my work is occupied by abstract aerial photography, thanks to which I give existing images completely new meanings. This is how my original photographic series are created. An unconventional view and the need to constantly search for unique compositions in the space around me enable me to bring out hidden images and create unique narratives.

Awards My work has been noticed and appreciated internationally through awards I have received in photography competitions, including: MonoVisions Black&White Photography Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, Annual Photography Awards, Fine Art Photography Awards, Analog Sparks Awards, PX3 – Prix de la Photographie Paris.
