04 · What you’ll see
You’ll see yourself, in your own light.
Scars are part of your story. Being uneven is human. And you — exactly as you are — are interesting enough to be worth telling about.

- Straight Out Of Camera. An image close to what the sensor captured.
- No surgery
- No reshaping of face or body. Truth as an advantage, not a prison.
05 · Where it began
Before I could walk,
I could look.
My dad Jacek died when I was three. I never got to remember his face — but I remember him through pictures. He and my mum Anna loved photography. They had their own darkroom.
It was them — my mum, my grandad and my grandma — who gave me my first camera. Maybe that’s why photography was never a hobby to me. It was a way of staying close to someone who wasn’t there any more.

What they say from the other side of the lens
He has a rare sense of timing, and he creates an atmosphere where even people who don’t like posing feel natural in front of the lens. Every bit of direction was right, and nothing felt forced.
Alicja Fedoruk · Google review Marcin has an exceptional talent for capturing images that truly reflect who his subject is. During the session I was surprised by how he drew out the best in me. He makes you feel comfortable, and the atmosphere is one of a kind.
