I invite you to take a look at new jazz pictures.

Rainy weekend keeped me at home. Thanks to that I found a while to prepare new pictures for my web page. Almost thirty new photos can be found in the category others>>tearsheets. You can find there some packaging, commercials, and press publications. Among them are pages of biweekly "VIVA!" to which I'm contributing food photos since february of 2010. These photos are created in cooperation with incredibly energetic stylist Mucha Ichnatowicz.

I have just begined cooperation with German photo agency StockFood GmbH. It's the world's bigest stock agency specialized in food photography.

The jury of DSS Nature Photography Festival in Swidnica honored one of my pictures with 2nd prize in the category: fauna. The picture shows an elk seeking for food in a deep forest of Biebrza National Park. I feel warm when I recall this meeting, although the temperature during picture taking was about minus 20 degrees of Celsius ( -4 degrees of Fahrenheit).

Yoy can find the picture under this link: dss-fotofestival.pl/konkursy.html

"Absorbed by consumption, collecting of goods, and competition, people don't have enough time to find ways of expressing harmony, beauty of life, and to respect it - another words, to be truly civilized people" - Sensei Sunya Kjolhede.

That's the answer for those who wonder why I do take pictures of nature.

After a longer break, I invite you to have a look on new food pictures. Every dish was eaten after the photo session. It was a delicious time :-)

You can find seven new portraits of jazz musicians in the gallery. There are two big festivals featuring excellent musicians starting during july in Warsaw. I hope there will be a chance to take good shoots.

You can find few new photos in nature's categories: birds, mammals and landscapes. Taking pictures of nature allows me to forget about the noise of big city in which I'm living.

There are a few new photographs in section "fashion".  These pictures were shoot for the magazines published by Bauer SK.

New pictures in the interiors category. The new photos shows mainly modern furniture. Among these new shoots you can find photos for international commpany SINGWAYS Furniture. I'm very glad about the pictures for STUDIO PIU, where I obtained a pleasent, moody lightning.
