For about two decades photography didn’t play any role in my life, it was something unimportant, didn’t trigger any emotions. It was not my style to document moments of my life, didn’t find it worth attention. Even more – thought it was useless and meaningless effort. However as human being I grew up, opened my eyes, changed the perspective, looked at things from a broader angle and then the moment has come. My eyes has open wide to the world.

 

The time has come when I felt longing for sharing incredible  beauty of the place and the moment during my first overseas travel. I didn’t have any tool on me to capture the picture that appeared in front of my eyes. Such situations, that began to change my sensitivity became more frequent. The first plastic auto camera completely failed as a tool to register impressions that kept my eyes wide open.

 

Step by step I began to learn and develop my skills to capture beauty of our Planet and foreign cultures. I wanted to be not only a witness but also documentarist to share my perspective of the situations and vision if the world I experienced with those that couldn’t be in those places.

 

My passion towards photography grew proportionally to the passion of travel. My backpack with photo equipment that I carry always on me became heavier, filled in with experience and love to the place where we live on.

 

My experience from African slams, meetings with indigenous communities of the Amazon and South America, impressions from my Arctic trip enriched me as a human being and created a lasting bound with my camera. I’m not an expert on human photography though I have deepest respect for other peoples stories however sometimes I am doing documenting style photography. I am not fully trained professional and the pictures you can find on my website are a fruit of my passion captured with my humble skills. Never the less  if you like them this is already a big reward for the time of struggle that usually accompany my journeys.

 

Those pictures are here for you.
