“Extraordinary things most unexpectedly happen during everyday situations. These are the moments that captivate me the most, both in film and photography. I strive to be close to my characters, to understand them, and to capture their authenticity in these fleeting moments. This approach drives every creative journey I embark on.”
On set, she often blends photography with film, giving her work a highly visual, modern, and interdisciplinary edge. She has a passion for projects that explore color and movement, particularly dance. Working with actors is deeply rewarding for her, as she believes that authentic relationships in front of the lens directly influence the success of the final product. Her positive energy on set is contagious and plays a vital role in achieving the desired results.
She is a graduate of top art institutions, including the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, the Wajda School’s Rehearsal Studio, and the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Her photographic and artistic works have been showcased in numerous exhibitions across Poland (MOCAK, Cracow’s Month of Photography, BWA Zielona Góra, Nowy Teatr in Warsaw) and internationally (Umeå European Capital of Culture, Month of Photography in Bratislava).
As a finalist in prestigious competitions like Hestia’s Artistic Journey and a recipient of the Ministry of Culture scholarship, she has earned recognition in the worlds of both art and film. Her videos have been featured by Directors Notes, Culture.pl, the Her Docs festival, and Directors Notes magazine.
She has collaborated with leading brands such as LPP, Jeronimo Martins, ING, Douglas, Ferrero, Nationale Nederlanden, Cersanit, Play, USP Zdrowie and many others. Currently, recently she has been developing the script for her feature film debut as part of the prestigious Screenwriting Atelier.
If you’re looking for someone who combines creativity, passion, and professionalism to craft unforgettable images and stories, she’s the one to work with!
