        PHOTOGRAPHER'S STATEMENT

                                                                


	As the daughter of the professional photographer 
	Jan Ziemnicki I was raised in his Photo Studio, 
	flooded with light and love of people, animals, 
	art and technology. 
	I received the professional knowledge and 
	the passion for the photography from my father 
	and acquired the precious professional experience 
	in all aspects of the photography in his Photo 
	Studio. 
	The strong background in analogue techniques 
	allowed me to move easily towards the digital 
	photography. 
	I am continuously following up with the developments 
	in the photography and deploying the new technologies 
	in my photographic works. 
	  
	
	Photography is the passion for the light.
	
	
	The fascination for the light is the medium 
	of admiration for the nature and the world. 
	It is also an incentive to create new imagination. 
	
	
	While photographing the landscape and nature I try 
	to catch and portray the atmosphere, the poetry 
	and the beauty of the light, of the moment, 
	of the place, of the motif. 
	The macrophotography allows to reveal the richness 
	and the beauty of the seemingly tiny worlds. 
	Making portraits means to me to display some aspects 
	of the person's particular personality 
	and the beauty of the human body. 
	
	
	A photograph is the mirror
	of the photographer's eye.
	
	
	In my opinion, a photograph is the mirror 
	of the photographer's eye, not only showing the motif, 
	but also reflecting the view of the photographer. 
	
	
	Photographing is story telling by catching the light 
	and the time to show and highlight the particular 
	character of the subject, the moment or the situation.
