Landscape, wildlife, sport.
I make photographs that mean something. Landscape, sport or wild nature — each demands a different eye, but the principle is the same: precise framing, deliberate light, a form that stays.
I'm based in Trójmiasto — the tri-city area of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot on the Baltic coast of Poland. My work has been exhibited at over 30 shows worldwide. I hold the LRPS distinction — Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society — awarded for visual consistency and technical command.
Photography doesn't stop at the digital file. I produce limited edition fine art prints, including in custom frames. I also run drone photography training and offer location scouting services across Pomerania.
I run JAMEL, a marketing agency based in Trójmiasto. Managing productions teaches you to think clearly under pressure — deadlines, budgets, directing a situation. That translates directly into photography.
On Instagram I run @nie.znane.trojmiasto, documenting the hidden places of the Trójmiasto region. Thousands of followers who want to see the real face of this coast.
If you have a project, get in touch. A shoot, a commission, a print for your wall. I'm happy to talk.

A photograph on a wall is a decision. Not about filling space — about what a room says.
I help select and frame my photographs for specific interiors: offices, hotels, apartments and homes. Every choice is individual — I take into account the character of the space, its light, palette and scale. There are no standard packages. There is a conversation and a solution built for a specific place.
For interior architects and designers looking for original works for client projects. For office and hotel owners who understand that environment builds a brand. For people furnishing their own home — those who want the walls to mean something.
The frame is chosen as part of the project — not as an afterthought. It depends on the space: its proportions, materials, light and mood.
I work with three levels — from standard profiles to fully custom-made frames produced to order. The choice follows the interior, not just the budget. If you're unsure what fits, that's what the consultation is for.
Framing doesn’t always mean a frame. I also work with large-format photo wallpapers for full walls, mounted behind glass or plexiglass, and with canvas prints. The medium is chosen together — it depends on the space and the effect you want.
Write — describe the space or send photos. Together we'll select works, agree on size and framing. The result is a finished object, ready to hang.
Aerial photography operates by different rules. Perspective changes everything — composition, light, scale. I teach how to command that.
I run drone photography training for photographers expanding their skill set, content creators and professionals who need aerial imagery for commercial work — advertising shoots, film productions, architectural documentation.
The programme covers: hands-on drone operation, aerial composition principles, working with natural light in open terrain, legal requirements for drone operators in Poland and the EU, and post-processing — how to bring out the best from aerial footage and stills.
I don't teach flying. I teach aerial photography.
Individual and group sessions available. On location in Trójmiasto and across Pomerania, or online. The programme is adapted to your level and goals. Starting from zero — we build the foundation. Already flying — we focus on the image.
Credibility: 30+ exhibitions, LRPS distinction, years of commercial work. I teach what I use.
Write and tell me what you're looking for. I'll reply with a proposed structure and date.
The right location is half the production. The wrong one is a wasted day and a burned budget.
I provide location scouting for film productions, advertising, fashion shoots, music videos and campaigns. I know Pomerania in depth — not just the obvious places, but the hidden ones: abandoned facilities, wild beaches, forest roads, historic architecture, industrial sites that look like a hundred others on paper but are genuinely singular in person.
The service covers: location research against your production brief, recce (on-site survey with photographic and video documentation), a full location report with GPS coordinates and stills, assistance with filming permits, and coordination with property owners.
I work with film crews, production companies, advertising agencies and photographers who need something specific but don't have the time to search.
Trójmiasto and all of Pomerania. Baltic coastline, Kashubia, Żuławy river delta, Trójmiejski Park Krajobrazowy. A few hours from the German border, well connected through Gdańsk — logistically accessible for European crews.
Send a project brief. Tell me what you're looking for visually, your timeline and budget. I'll come back with specifics.
