Meet my home

Hamburg

Cologne

   I've spent the whole year in Cologne, on my erasmus exchange. Amazing people, amazing parties, and amazing experiences. Although I came back 5 months ago, I'm looking at these pictures every week. They help me bring back the erasmus atmosphere, which is literally second to none.

How it started

I had my first camera when I was 8. It was my biggest wish although I had no clue, how it works. I just liked the idea of 'stealing the time'.But after putting a film into the camera turned out to be challenge of my life,I set it aside for another time.

At high school I decided that now it's the time and what I want to study is photography. Luckilly, I secured a place at the Photography Faculty at the Warsaw University. It made me feel extremely happy but I still have the same problem: no technique.

That's why I took part in summer workshops in Hirschluch, near Berlin, directed by a popular German photographer Harald Hauswald  ( http://www.harald-hauswald.de/). The 2 weeks of intensive course taught me, besides 'the patience of Job', the whole photographic process, and started the passion for the analog photography.

Above, you can see my first self- developed photos. They are not  masterpieces and I'm not a professionalist. I just want the people, while looking at my pictures, to feel what I feel taking them- bliss and calmness.
