Your eye for composition, especially in architectural shots, is remarkable. Do you consider architecture your favorite subject, or does it just offer unique opportunities for storytelling?

Architecture is definitely one of my favorite subjects. I’m fascinated by how buildings in an urban landscape tell their stories and how their shapes and lines create unique compositions. Every frame has the potential to reveal narratives just waiting to come to light.

That said, architecture is just one part of urban photography, which is my greatest passion. The perspectives of buildings, the interplay of light and shadow on Warsaw’s streets, the urban movement, and the figures captured in motion—all these elements are stories waiting to be presented through my lens.

You have a distinct talent for capturing vivid colors in your photos. How does your sense of color influence your choice of subjects and locations?

Colors are like a palette of emotions for me. In my photographs, I often seek contrasts and harmonies that evoke specific feelings. For instance, the vivid colors of Warsaw’s trams or the delicate shades in Łazienki Królewskie create a unique atmosphere that inspires me.

Thanks to my artistic experiences, I have a strong sensitivity to colors. Warsaw’s bright contrasts and rich hues give me endless opportunities to create compositions that bring life to the moments I capture, often with just my phone.

I’m impressed by how you utilize natural light throughout Warsaw in your work. Do you have a favorite spot in the city that consistently offers you the perfect light?

Although I’m not from Warsaw and am still discovering it, I have a few favorite spots that feel like my photographic bases. Łazienki Królewskie and Agrykola are particularly special—light filters through the old trees there, creating mysterious frames.

Every walk in Warsaw is an exciting new adventure, and its undiscovered corners add a thrill to my work. I love searching for light in unexpected places. For example, the Gdański Bridge offers incredible opportunities during the “golden hour,” when the sunlight creates magical reflections. I also find stormy skies fascinating, as they add drama to my photos.

Your photos often feature strong lines and geometric shapes. How do you approach finding these visual elements in your surroundings?

When exploring Warsaw, I’m always on the lookout for contrasts that can create striking compositions. For instance, the Palace of Culture majestically rising amid glass skyscrapers and historic buildings is a perfect example of the city’s unique architectural collisions. These juxtapositions inspire me to create dynamic and powerful images.

Many of your shots evoke a strong sense of mood and atmosphere. How do you plan for this, or is it something you discover in the moment?

I definitely discover mood in the moment. I follow what attracts me—whether it’s a certain light, shadow, or unexpected detail. It’s often these accidental discoveries that create the most evocative images. The city’s rhythm, its bustling streets, and fleeting moments all influence how I approach my photography.

Do you have a specific routine or ritual when you go out shooting in Warsaw, or do you prefer a more spontaneous approach?

Every outing is a new adventure. While I sometimes plan a route, I find spontaneity often leads to the most exciting results. I like to wander—stepping off trains, exploring alleys, and uncovering hidden corners. My artistic instinct helps me find beauty in the everyday, and it’s often these random encounters that produce my most unforgettable frames.

How do you see your work evolving? Are there any new themes or projects you’re eager to explore next?

I’m eager to keep exploring Warsaw and growing as a photographer. I’m particularly excited about starting a photography course in project photography, which I won as a prize in a Warsaw photography competition.

Additionally, I look forward to participating in more photographic trips with Mobilephototrip. These adventures inspire me to experiment with new forms of expression. For me, every photo is a new story—a new adventure waiting to be discovered.
