Born in Łódź, educated at Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School (Katowice) and the American Film Institute Conservatory (MFA Cinematography, Fulbright Scholar, 2017), I've spent 15+ years creating images for narrative film, documentaries, and commercials across four continents—Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. My background in computer science (Technical University of Łódź, 2007) combined with years behind the camera gives me a unique perspective on how AI is transforming visual storytelling. I'm not abandoning traditional cinematography—I'm expanding it, exploring aesthetic possibilities that exist only at the intersection of craft and code. Privately an avid rock climber, hiker, cyclist, and outdoor enthusiast—I spend half the year living in a van, close to nature and the mountains.
