ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Cracow, Poland. With my parents being dedicated people of theatre, I grew up making various experiences on stage and in film. As a teeager I was determined to pursue a career in acting. Right about high school graduation I have started perceiving films in a different way, paying more and more attention to the cinematic image and falling in love with light. After a couple of years of discovering film on my own I got accepted to dffb, Deutsche Film und Fernsehakademie Berlin where I studied cinematography. Since then I was able to explore fiction, documentary, music videos, commercial and TV and I very much hope to be able to do so for years to come. I am also fortunate enough to be able to work in theatre as well, mostly as a lighting desiner, video artist and photographer. I have collaborated with theatres both in Poland and in Germany, such as Gorki Theater Berlin, Berliner Ensemble, Stary Teatr in Cracow, IMKA Theater in Warsaw and more.
