TITLE: Kate in White

Photo from the "Nude White" series

AUTHOR: Jakub Gadek (Poland)

I was born in Lodz, Poland. I lived a little here, a little there, now I settled in the forest 70 km from Warsaw. I am a photographer, poet, traveler and a university teacher. I graduated in Photography from Maria Curie Sklodowska University, Faculty of Fine Arts. I am a member of the Association of Polish Art Photographers (ZPAF). Photography is my passion. I express myself through my pictures. I mean what makes me delighted, surprised as well as reflection and other emotions. It’s not a reality itself, but the way my mind sees the things, makes forms and shadows for them.
