I have a travel bug – ever since I remember I wanted to explore the world.People, journey, new experiences, different cultures, languages.
I’m a freelance Professional Photographer working in the Arts.Born in Poland, I migrated to United Kingdom in 2004 and to Australia in 2009.I’ve been transient for over a decade and travelled extensively.In 2008 I completed a photography course at the London Metropolitan University and won a first prize, which was a major inspiration to the continuity of my passion.A year later I made the decision of moving to Australia and start everything from scratch.Following my photographic career in London, I set up my freelance photography business and now work as a commercial photographer, public artist and Multicultural Ambassador of City of Ballarat.My passion for community engagement and community development evolved to volunteering for many local and international community organisations.I’m a big supporter of International Student Exchange Programs and a proud Sponsor and Supporter of APEX Australia Teenage Fashion Awards.I love the challenge of getting the best out of people.
Over the last couple of years I have been involved in wide array of community, public art and educational projects.My current projects include facilitating We R You large format paste up photography project – a community engagement project modelled on the global JR’s Inside Out initiative currently on show around Ballarat and the new M.A.D.E Museum at Eureka.I’m also working on a book project My Australia and Under the Floorboards commissioned Artist Residency with Uniting Care Ballarat.
I have exhibited my work in galleries in Australia and Europe and have been a finalist of several international awards.
