WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW AND HAVE YOU ALWAYS LIVED THERE?
 I’m in France for a photo shoot.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN AND RAISED?
In Warsaw, Poland.

WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS ABOUT YOUR HOMETOWN?
That Warsaw is constantly changing. Also it reminds me of all the European cities that I love. My favorite time are the evenings, when the restaurants become crowded, you meet friends around every corner, there’s no traffic on the streets, but the center is full of life. You should visit and explore it!

WHAT WERE YOUR ASPIRATION GROWING UP?
I definitely dreamed of becoming some kind of a freelance artist, although I don’t think I knew the meaning of the word.

WHY PHOTOGRAPHER?
Because it’s a magical art that draws from different fields like painting or storytelling. I found an outlet in photography, because I have a vivid imagination and I need to stay in touch with creativity.

WHY FASHION?
It was kind of accidental, like every good thing in my life. I felt in a heartbeat that it’s a wonderful thing and honestly, I don’t feel this passionate about any other type of photography. I love taking pictures of people, their emotions and all those amazing clothes.

WHAT OR WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST?
This is the hardest question. I think everything around me.

WHERE ARE YOUR FAVOURITE LOCATIONS TO SHOOT?
Anywhere that no one has been before.

HOW DOES YOUR AESTHIC TRANSLATE IN OTHER PARTS OF YOUR LIFE?
My aesthetics influences my way of thinking and lifestyle, allows me to express myself freely in everyday aspects of life. Thanks to it, I’m eternally devoted to my classic style of dressing. But from the other side, enjoy painting in an abstract way and redecorating my apartment all of the time.

WHAT BEAUTY ROUTINE DO YOU SWEAR BY AND HOW DO YOU STAY IN SHAPE?
I sleep a lot and take long baths. I believe in natural, primal rituals.

WHAT DO YOU GET UP TO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
I travel a lot and surf. I often rearrange my apartment and take a lot of pictures just for fun.

HOW DO YOU STAY FOCUSED AND GROUNDED ?
It’s just part of my nature.
