ABOUT ME

I am a photojournalist working for Polish Press Agency. My career path was a bit strange, though. I got my master's degree in Business Administration and in the meantime studied traditional photography at an evening course. After I graduated I went to London with some friends and worked as a marketing assistant at a Credit Union. I shared a flat with some foreigners and went to millions of parties, had definitely the craziest time of my life. After one year I decided I could not work at the office anymore and went for a photo internship to USA for 6 months. It was a great professional experience and made me realize photojournalism is my dream job. Later on I came back to Poland and landed the job with this press agency. I enjoy it a lot, because everyday I do something different, it is really exciting!
