My name is Pawel, and I live in Dublin, though my roots lie in Poland.
Growing up in a household immersed in music, where my father, a skilled musician, graced us with his talent through rehearsals and captivating concerts, I was enveloped in a world of harmonious melodies. Those formative years not only exposed me to the beauty of the arts but instilled in me a profound appreciation for the intricacies of the creative process, the finesse of technique, and the enchantment of technology. The echoes of those musical moments linger in my soul, shaping my aspirations and nurturing a profound reverence for the fusion of artistry and innovation.
Before I ever even thought to work in photography I was a professional musician myself, working with bands in Poland and Ireland for many years. This was a productive time in my career and it allowed some artistic expression, but I felt I needed another outlet to assert my individual style. I bought my first real camera in 2009. I bought it on a whim, but I was eager to take up photography as a hobby. I studied many different photographers, techniques and processes in the early stages but through this study I found that I enjoyed capturing candid moments in life; people’s gestures and expressions. The “shoot from the hip and hope for the best” approach suited me. My hobby gradually turned into a career. This revelation left me torn between two things that I love.
In essence, I’m a musician at heart, but I’m a photographer by profession.
