Photographer, photojournalist. He has been working on documentary photography for last 40 years.
Vice-president and co-founder of the Association of Documentalists "The Road"; present in the Association since 2008.
Born in 1948 in Katowice (big town in Polish Silesia region, rich in coal mines) where he spent his childhood. In 1967 he moved to Warsaw where he studied Sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Warsaw. During his studies he started to take photographs and founded Students' Photographic Agency. In 1971 he dropped out of studies and started to work in "Almatur" Travel Office (one of the biggest state travel agencies in socialist Poland, specialising in youth's getaways). Later he was given a position of photo journalist in "Gospodyni" magazine (magazine for lower class women readers) printed by National Agriculture and Forest Edition House. In 1973 he started his career in "itd" magazine - a youth journal - at first as a photo reporter, then as the director of photographic section. From 1982 he worked in sports magazine "Sportowiec". After its closing in 1992 he lost almost all of his archive, what prompted him to work on preserving what was left from his legacy. Together with Krzysztof Barański he established "Beauty Agency", one of first Polish private photos agencies, and from 1993 he worked mainly in advertisement photography. 
He is awarded with many photographic distinctions: e.g. First National Competition of News Photography (1974) and Interpress Photo Golden Medallion (1975) for his series "Excursion to Auschwitz". In 2000 he became a member of Polish Association of Photographers. He taught photography in ZPAF School of Photography and at the Higher School of Art and Design in Łódź. Currently retired from professional activities.
