About

I make transport legible to the people who use it, fund it, and build it.

I came to this from the inside. I have worked on BRT corridor design in Baku, a transit network reform in Glazov, navigation and a design code in Yekaterinburg, wayfinding in Belgrade, and passenger communication at Moscow Metro. So when I photograph a tram stop or explain a timetable, I have a fair idea of what it took to get it there.

The other half of the work faces outwards. I produce photography and video for transport authorities, including in Moscow and Tallinn. I also shoot transport infrastructure across Europe and run transport channels, because public transport is genuinely interesting and most coverage of it is either too technical or too nostalgic.

Some of it is shot from above. I am an EASA-certified UAV pilot (A1/A3) and fly a DJI Air 3, which is often the only way to show a piece of infrastructure as a whole.

I have been to around 40 countries specifically to study how they move people. In 2026 I won first prize in the Travellers Cup category of the Stadler photo competition and collected it in person at InnoTrans in Berlin.

I live in Warsaw, where I finished a bachelor's degree in Social Communication and PR in 2026.
