Collaboration with 22Architekci
My collaboration with the Warsaw-based studio 22Architekci began with a photo shoot of a small single-family house in Konstancin-Jeziorna. It was a modest, intimate building, fully clad in wood and carefully tucked into a compact, tree-filled plot. While photographing this project, my main focus was on capturing the relationship between the architecture and the surrounding greenery. I paid particular attention to how the building sits among the existing trees, as well as to the restrained details and materials that respond sensitively to the character of the place. The photographs from this project were widely published online and also appeared in WhiteMAD magazine.
Residential and industrial projects
In subsequent years, I completed a series of photo shoots for the studio. Most of them documented residential architecture, but the collaboration also included industrial projects, such as the production and office hall for the Gabec company in Radom. One of the larger commissions was a photographic session of the Student Depot and Resi4Rent residential complex on Kołobrzeska Street in Gdańsk. I was already familiar with this site, having photographed it during construction. Capturing the completed development in late autumn was challenging due to short days and rapidly changing weather, but it resulted in soft light and natural urban scenes with people moving through the new spaces.
New Nikiszowiec in Katowice
A particularly important experience for me was documenting the New Nikiszowiec housing estate in Katowice. The project was developed on the basis of a winning competition entry and clearly references the historic Nikiszowiec, both in its urban structure and architectural details. I photographed the site at different stages and in different seasons, each time aiming to show its character, public spaces, and relationship with the surrounding context. Drone photography allowed the urban layout and the scale of the development to be presented clearly. The project made a strong impression on me with its consistency, spatial clarity, and quality of public space design. It was recognized with, among others, a nomination for the Mies van der Rohe Award, and my photographs were published in Architektura Murator magazine.
