Born in 1983, from Częstochowa. Music and film are not just hobbies for me, they're a way of thinking, feeling, and acting. I'm a musician; I played in alternative bands and later worked with Daria Zawiałow as a musician. During the pandemic, I shifted to my second passion - the camera. As a camera operator, focus puller, and assistant cinematographer, I've worked on documentaries, feature films, music videos, and commercials. These experiences, combined with my musical background, come in handy in projects where the image needs to speak the same language as the sound. Along the way, I've also helped produce concerts and events for major brands, always wherever something was playing, shining, or being filmed. By education, I'm an accountant; by heart, a man of image and sound. I enjoy things that have atmosphere and the people who create them.
