Piotr Nalewajka: photographer (professional member of Visual Artists Ireland since 2019) and Philosopher (PhD) exploring human condition mainly through abstract,street and documentary photography...


One of my favorite writers is Anton Chekhov—the master of the short stories. Whenever possible, I try to approach street photography in a similar way: instead of single shots, I try to create short visual stories.

The funny stories presented here (from around the world) should, of course, be taken with a pinch of salt.

PIOTR NALEWAJKA, born in Poland, settled in Limerick (Ireland).

Photographer (professional member of Visual Artists Ireland since 2019) and Philosopher (PhD) exploring human condition mainly through abstract and documentary photography although remaining open in all photographic directions. His photographs were exhibited in several groups and solo exhibitions in Ireland, the U.K, Sweden, Hungary, France and Italy.
