AS A FILMMAKER, for many years I've been creating documentaries, feature films and commercials both in Poland and abroad. Some of them have been awarded at international film festivals (such as Gdynia Film Festival, Film and Music Festival Küstendorf, Koszalin Film Debuts Festival "Young and Film", Poland, 11th Go Short - International Short Film Festival, The Netherlands). I am filmmaking War in Ukraine.

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER, I desire to explore and find the human voice made me realise that the world we're looking at is fleeting, but we can keep it in the frames. The thoughts and ideas that accompanied me in the refugee camps in Afghanistan, Indian slums, Ukrainian villages or three years after the tsunami in Sri Lanka, have turned into a desire that through photography I'm able to change and broaden the awareness of those who cannot enter the areas I've seen and documented. Currently, I am documentation War in Ukraine. 

AS A CLIMBER, I was a leader of expeditions in the Karakoram, Himalaya, Pamir, Tien-Szan and Caucasus as. . My last mountain project was about Andrzej Bargiel who completed the first descent of K2 8611 on skis. I cooperated with him during the last three expeditions (Snow Leopards and two times in K2). I prepared video content for Redbull Company.
