Workshops fully dedicated to working with light, the most important tool for a photographer.

You will learn to consciously use:
• natural light – how to shape, reflect, and control it,
• continuous light (LED) – to build atmosphere and mood in your photos,
• flash light – from simple setups to more complex arrangements

I will show you how to control the angle of light, contrast, distance from the light source, and its color. You will learn practical lighting schemes and how to modify them for portrait, fashion, family, business, or fine art photography.

The workshops take the form of intensive practice in a small group – lots of exercises, lighting setups, and experiments. Each stage will be led personally by me, step by step, so you will understand not only the theory but also practical applications.

It will be a day full of inspiration and working with light – you will leave with new skills, refined techniques, and shots for your portfolio. A professional model will be with us, and we will have various styling options available. We will also cover topics related to composition and color in photography.

ABOUT ARTIST:

I have been a photographer since 2010 — since then, a camera has accompanied me practically every day. I feel most at home in fashion and portrait photography, but I also love creating campaigns and working with people, light, and emotions.

Photography is more than a profession to me — it’s the way I look at the world. I like images that have character, tell a story, and play with light like music.

On a daily basis, I have the honor of being an ambassador for brands I truly value: Leica Camera Poland, Glare One, Voigtländer, Calibrite, Sekonic, and Newell. I run photography workshops, teach retouching, and sometimes simply talk with other photographers over coffee — because sharing knowledge is a great joy for me.

I also wrote the book “In the Light of Inspiration,” and my work has been shown, among other places, at an exhibition during Milan Fashion Week and published in, for example, British Vogue, Digital Photographer Polska, and other well-known magazines. In 2024, I received the title of Photographer of the Year in the Fashion – Beauty category at the Refocus Award — but what makes me happiest is that I still love taking pictures.

The rest you will see in my photographs.
