Ancoats, Manchester UK 2016 . There is not much to put in it. I've graduated from University of Bialystok year 2003 in North East Poland. My specialisation was Cultural Studies MA. First professional career started as a journalist/photo-reporter in local daily newspaper Gazeta Wspolczesna. After few years working and being completely disillusioned by lack of principals in the trade I decided to immigrate into UK and got offered account management job for IT company which I held for more then eight years. Other jobs I did on the way as follow : chef and kitchen assistant, DVD rental customer advisor, airline service and reservation agent , digital camera salesman, fruit & veg processing plant worker, wedding photographer, forklift driver & warehouse operative, warehouse manager, forest worker and blinds and window fitter at my father's business. Once I even considered to take a training to become a hairdresser.

Now I am pursuing my long dream of being photographer and creator of my own photographic projects. My influences comes from classic colour American Photography, popular culture, films, Magnum journalism and modern art. Basic's of photography taught me my father Andrew who back in the 80's Poland used to be an event photographer in small town of Siemiatycze where I was born. I used to help him, mainly by carrying his bags with equipment and trying to learn how the darkroom works.
