Hello, I’m Łukasz – a photographer not by chance, but out of deep passion and a need of the heart. My journey into photography has been anything but easy; it’s a story of struggle, perseverance, and an unending love for capturing moments that last only a fraction of a second. As a person living with a disability, I’ve faced many challenges, but my illness has also taught me to see the world through a lens of greater sensitivity and to appreciate every fleeting moment.
For many years, I was confined to my home due to my illness, and photography became my window to the world. It motivates me to fight against adversity and reminds me that even in the darkest times, there is beauty to be found. I’m not alone in this journey – I have incredible friends and my amazing wife, who is a huge part of my passion. She has always supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, even when I doubted myself.
Photography has become my voice when words fall short. It’s my way of expressing myself, my emotions, and my experiences. With a camera in hand, I explore the world – not always physically, but always spiritually. Each photo I take is a reflection of my soul, a glimpse into how I perceive the reality around me.
My projects are as diverse as the emotions that reside within me. From intimate portraits of nature to dynamic captures of life in motion, and even projects that push me to overcome my own physical limitations – each one is a challenge, but also a source of immense joy.
I’m not on this journey alone. I’m surrounded by incredible people – my wife, my friends, and my virtual community – who are my wings, helping me rise above adversity. It’s thanks to them, and to you, that every day brings new opportunities for discovery and creation.
I am a photographer because it allows me to live more fully, love more deeply, and see further. I invite you to join me in exploring the world as I see it through the lens of my passion. Together, we can uncover the beauty that often lies hidden right before our eyes.
