Lives and works in Montréal and Trois-Pistoles

A photojournalist based in Trois-Pistoles, Québec, I spent my childhood years between Québec and Poland. Studying anthropology ignited my interest in documenting how humans live, how they express culture and how they interact with one another. Through my photo and video projects, I aim to address current and pressing social issues but also to show how people express their individuality through moments of intimacy and leisure. My current work is centred around event photography, portraits, travel photography and documentary projects.
