I was born in 1970 in Cracow, Poland. In the 1990's, during studies on Jagiellonian University (Hungarian language), I started designing books and taking pictures, first with Russian Fed, next Zenith, Pentacon Six, Mamiya 67 and Nikon N8001. In 1996 I took part in a course of photography led by prof. Zbigniew Łagocki at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. For a few years I was working at Adam Bujak albums in Bialy Kruk publishing house in Cracow. In 2003 I went to Budapest and as a freelancer I have cooperated with many Hungarian and Polish publishers as a book-designer.
