Not much to say about this guy, mainly because there is not much about him.

From what is apparent, he is located in Warsaw Poland

is an ameture photographer

And his pictures have great GREAT lighting, subject matter: a little of everything.

I'm going to call him a professional photographer, because he seems to know what works,

and knows how to use his equiptment to its full potential.

An example would be his infa-red photgraphy - found in his nature shots, gives trees a

"fluffy-full" look, irradiates the image. And the vibrant colors, keep the pictures attractive.
