About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be yourself :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a polish videographer who loves exploring life.
I travel to see how those people on the other side of the globe think, live, what makes them happy and why they cry. It also inspires me to create more. I love walking around with my camera, talking with people and taking pictures and videos of people meet and places I visit. That how I grow and CS become a major tool in this process.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart and always stay curious!
