ABOUT ME
I’m Filip, a photographer and videographer from Berlin. I’m Polish born, Austrian educated and Berlin is my home since many years. I’m growing with this vibrating metropole. Every day brings a human encounter that inspires me. So, for me, it is all about people, our human contact. I love to be couragous. To make the first step and trust, take a picture of something important or intriguing. I do care about social change, self development and alternatives to pure capitalism as we know it.
My passion for photography was mastered at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. As a freelance photographer and filmmaker, I now have more than 10 years of relevant international work experience – there are no limits just opportunities.
My clients include print media, magazines, NGOs and numerous brands & companies. I like working directly in natural surroundings, getting out the best of the person in front of the lens. I’m also happy to work in the studio with flash and make-up, if this is required. My references as filmmaker you can find here.
You fill up the frame with feelings, energy, discovery, and risk, and leave room enough for someone else to get in there.
The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good depending on the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.
I'm curious. Period. I find everything interesting. Real life. Fake life. Objects. Flowers. Cats. But mostly people. If you keep your eyes open and your mind open, everything can be interesting.
