1st Place in the “Courtyard” Competition – Szeroki Kadr
📅 Year: 2020
🌟 Award: 1st Prize for the photo “Carefree Life”
In the Szeroki Kadr competition, my work titled “Carefree Life” won first place! The photo captures the essence of urban courtyard life—children riding scooters, exuding a sense of relaxation and connection.
Quoting the jury:
“The photo is minimalist, straightforward, and communicative in the best sense. The window portrait highlights the urban setting, while the scooters add a touch of modern city life.”
This victory was an incredible honor and a powerful inspiration for my future endeavors.
Portfolio Review Participation – Szeroki Kadr by Nikon
📅 Year: 2020
As a laureate of the “Photographer of the Month” anniversary contest by Szeroki Kadr, I was invited to the Portfolio Review in Warsaw.
This event provided a unique opportunity to exchange experiences with other photography enthusiasts and gain valuable insights from experts such as Anita Andrzejewska, Beata Łyżwa-Sokół, and Krystian Bielatowicz. It was an enriching experience that I will always cherish.
These achievements are not only an acknowledgment of my work but also a tremendous motivation to keep growing, exploring, and pushing creative boundaries. Thank you to everyone who supports me on this incredible photography journey! 😊
