"Travelling with great pleasure around Poland I am constantly aware that nature loses with humans. Its last wild areas shrink systematically."

„Each photograph begins with a field trip in search of the animal’s refuge. Than I build a hiding place, masked to resemble the surrounding as closely as possible – covered by branches, reed, grass etc. When everything is ready I say good-bye to my family, take my cameras, tripods, a reserve of hot tea and sandwiches for my stay in the hiding place, which lasts sometimes for a few days.“
