I heart natureQ: Where did you grow up ?
A: I was born in Poland in 1987 and since that day I still live here. My country surprises me everyday, I like the mixture of cultural, historical and political spheres, every minute is interesting here. I adore the variety of landscape, nature goods, weather and temperate climate. Every little part of living here can be inspiring. That’s why I try to take my camera everywhere I go!
DropSlide Q: When did you get your first camera ?
A: It’s a very difficult question for me, I had to dust off my photography memories… When I was a little girl I had a simple compact camera and I took many photos with it. I remember, that I often borrowed a digital camera from my older sister, but I’ve got my first digital camera (Canon Powershot A520) in 2006 and I called it ‘my baby’ :) I’ve learned a lot with it during three years. I also used an old analog Zenit. In December 2008 I finally bought myself a DSLR and my photographs became more professional. It’s amazing how a lens can bring colours, light, bokeh and quality.
Dance with me Q: What do you use for a camera, and what is your favorite lens?
A: My basic set is Nikon D60 with 18-55mm kit lens, but since few months I usually use 50mm manual Helios macro lens to take close-ups and macro. It brings more light to my photography!
LiliacsQ: Do you have a favorite photo editing software ?
A: I’m in love with Photo Shop! Sometimes I also use Macromedia Fireworks and Gimp.
TeardropsA: I think the answer is obvious – NATURE. I’m very passionate about every little thing around me. I observe life and catch beautiful moments in close-up photographs. I call this activity “cropping the world” :) I have to mention, that I adore people’s faces: eyes, look, smile, wrinkles... Portraits are my 2nd favorite subject.
ReflectionQ: With your camera, where would you like to go if you could travel anywhere ?
A: I would definitely go to Italy. This country makes me feel warmer, my heart beats faster when I hear Italian language, I love Italian food, antique culture, romantic narrow streets, landscapes, architecture and passionate people. My dreams and hopes are aroused when I think about this land…
Water DreamsDon’t know if this could be surprising ;) I study psychology and I strive to be sexologist and art therapist. I’ve always wanted to acquire knowledge and build up my personality to help people live better. When I need some rest, and the weather is not so fine for taking photos, I create jewelery. I have a plan to start a second shop on Etsy soon! :)
