| How did you get into photography? |  |
 |
||||||||||
| I studied Fine Arts in Warsaw (Poland). We studied basic B/W | ||||||||||||
| photography too. My interest for Photography turned into passion | ||||||||||||
| soon after. To the point that I decided switching directions. Later I | ||||||||||||
| came to the UK and Studied a BA (hons) in Photography (University | ||||||||||||
| of Huddersfield). | ||||||||||||
 |
 |
Wouldn't London be a better base? | ||||||||||
| Why? I am an European from Head to Toe. I have spent
years in |
||||||||||||
| Eastern Europe, Central Europe. Every place you
visit enriches you. |
||||||||||||
| Traveling is cheap and the Internet opens up frontiers
and barriers. |
||||||||||||
| You can be based anywhere and can always travel when needed. If | ||||||||||||
| you feel happy you feel positive, that way you are are more inspired. | ||||||||||||
| What’s your favorite style of shoot? |  |
 |
||||||||||
| Anything where there is beauty. |
||||||||||||
| Even a dead dove on the floor can be extremely beautiful.. |
||||||||||||
| The smile of a baby.. |
||||||||||||
| The sexy curves of a nice female bottom.. :) | ||||||||||||
 |
 |
Do you use Photoshop? | ||||||||||
| Sometimes. But only for slight changes, I want a photograph to stay | ||||||||||||
| a photograph, retouching is fine but never to the
unreal state. |
||||||||||||
| I want people to believe in what they see. |
||||||||||||
| In beauty shots I will erase spots or blemishes in the skin but will | ||||||||||||
| leave the skin looking always natural. Natural is beautiful. | ||||||||||||
| Are you a big digital fan? |  |
 |
||||||||||
| Digital makes sense and it is the future. |
||||||||||||
| But developement hasn't erased painters from the
face of the earth |
||||||||||||
| yet, so it will be the same with conventional photography. | ||||||||||||
 |
 |
What do you love most about the job? | ||||||||||
| Appreciation for a work well done. |
||||||||||||
| Money is always a good way to say thanks, I guess. |
||||||||||||
| Kisses are good too if I can be frank with you...
;) |
||||||||||||
| (And at the moment I am single, so nothing to worry...) | ||||||||||||
| What would be your number one tip for a new photographer? |  |
 |
||||||||||
| One tip? Mhhh.. I'll give you a few quotes: |
||||||||||||
| 1. Failure is fertilizer for success. (Never give
up!) |
||||||||||||
| 2. The only people who never fail are those who
never try. |
||||||||||||
| 3. Where we all think alike, no one thinks very
much. |
||||||||||||
| 4 . Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes. | ||||||||||||
