Particularly I am interested in historic photographic processes since the beginning of “mechanical method for taking pictures from nature”. In 2004 I reconstructed daguerreotype process and in 2007 wet plate collodion process. Since then I give presentations & workshops related to these technics and their modifications (ferrotype, ambrotype, collodion negatives, liquid emulsions) work on salted papers, self-prepared negative and positive liquid emulsions. For my workshops and realizations I build cameras, lenses, pinhole cameras and other atypical equipment.

I teach professional artists & teachers, also give popular-science shows for children and teenagers. My presentations accompanies photo-festivals & university events.

I also give individual workshops in my studio in Rosnówko near Poznań, (Western) Poland.

Photography & Art historians, archivists, museum & gallery staff as well as photography collectors are invited to cooperate.
