BIOGRAPHY
Artur is a photographer with a background in architecture and urban design, holding a degree from the Krakow University of Technology (2000). He spent over a decade working as an architect before gradually shifting his creative focus to photography in 2007. While the medium has changed, his deep passion for architecture continues to inform his visual style and artistic approach.
In 2011, Artur was named Black and White Photographer of the Year in the ‘Time’ single image category by Black+White Photography, a UK-based magazine. He was also nominated in several categories in the 2012, 2015, and 2017 editions of the same competition. His work has since been exhibited and published across Ireland, the UK, Germany, France, the United States, Canada, Hungary, and Poland, appearing in both photography and architectural publications, as well as in mainstream media.
Artur’s portfolio includes a mix of personal and commercial projects, reflecting a strong architectural sensibility and a distinct visual narrative.
STATEMENT
I specialise in architectural photography — a discipline that merges my background in architecture with my passion for visual storytelling. Architecture itself is a broad and multifaceted art form, combining both applied and aesthetic elements. Beyond its physical presence, it plays a meaningful role in shaping places and connecting deeply with the surrounding environment. It is the product of a creative process whose influence can resonate for generations.
When photography became my primary form of expression, I chose to explore it through the lens of architecture — focusing on form, detail, texture, light, shadow, and the landscape in which structures are set. My architectural training gives me a heightened sensitivity to composition, spatial relationships, and design intent, allowing me to approach each project with a deeper understanding of the subject and its context.
My aim is to faithfully represent the architect’s vision. Ultimately, my photography becomes a cognitive process — a visual interpretation of the architect’s creative intent.
Selected photographs from my personal projects are available as limited-edition fine art prints, as well as open-edition prints. Please feel free to get in touch for more information.
My limited-edition prints are held in private collections across Ireland, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, the United States, Canada, and Japan.
Thank you for visiting my website.
If you’re interested in a photography session or have any questions about my work, I’d be happy to hear from you.
