About me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marcin Krokowski Event Photographer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I won’t write here that I have had a camera in my hands since I was a child, I found it in the attic and since then photography has become my greatest passion. I am not a philosopher of photography, nor do I pose as an artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love photography. It comes out really well, and the satisfaction of capturing the right moment is something that drives me forward. I started by photographing friends, models and abandoned places, and then the camera began to accompany me everywhere. I photographed literally everything – and it has stayed with me to this day. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

My passions and interests<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In addition to traveling (preferably as far away as possible and with my camera \ud83d\udcf8), I’ve always kept fit and healthy – weight training, cardio, running, and more recently squash and paddle. I used to even c’walk dance, because I like to learn new skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am interested in new technologies – not only in photography, but also in everyday life. Especially if they make my work or daily chores easier. I treat artificial intelligence as a tool, not a threat.<\/strong> I read a lot and am constantly developing myself, both in photographic and business topics. The list of courses I’ve started and books waiting to be read is already long. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

How did my adventure in event photography begin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was studying for a degree in advertising organization. At the same time, together with a groupmate, and sometimes by myself, I attended various parties and events with only one camera, lens and flash. I photographed events in clubs of my own choosing – snowboarding competitions (in the club’s garden), dance parties (I also danced myself) and other events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, event organizers started asking me to prepare event photo coverage that they could use to promote their events. At the time, I treated it as an activity – I didn’t expect event photography to become my profession. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

What kind of photographer am I today?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have been involved in the event industry for over 13 years<\/strong>. I photograph events for international brands, local companies, as well as smaller, intimate events. I feel best in documentary-style coverage.<\/strong> I like challenges and have worked in almost every setting – from elegant galas to dynamic sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of work, I love taking my camera (or at least my phone) on trips. I like to show new places in a non-obvious way – if I have to take a photo just like everyone else, I prefer to just enjoy the view with my own eyes. Maybe that’s why I don’t have an “instagram” account, but instead I have a blog Urbanflavour.pl<\/a>, where I share stories of travel and photography.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
