Vienna – photographs of palaces, monuments and urban architecture
In this album I present Vienna through its architecture: Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere, Karlskirche and the historic streets of the centre. The photographs combine views of entire buildings with fragments of façades and the spaces surrounding them. Reflections in water and repeated divisions of façades help reveal the order of Viennese compositions.
When photographing, I looked for axes, symmetry and directions leading the eye into the frame. A wide angle allowed me to show buildings together with their surroundings, while tighter shots isolated individual forms. Light was also important to me: bringing out the colour of a façade, emphasising a detail or changing the appearance of a reflection.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II. EXIF data with camera settings is available alongside individual photographs. The gallery is my photographic account of Vienna, focused on the palaces and urban landscape of the Austrian capital. If a photograph suits your publication or project, please get in touch.

Venice – photographs of canals, bridges and historic architecture
In this album I show Venice on a cloudy day, from the broad Grand Canal to narrow canals and streets between buildings. The gallery includes the Rialto Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs, St Mark’s Square and Basilica, and the Doge’s Palace. Alongside recognisable monuments, I photographed less grand fragments of the city: peeling plaster, green shutters, moored boats and façades reflected in the water.
I was interested in how architecture connects here with movement on the canals. Gondolas, motorboats and water buses bring life between the motionless walls of palaces. The soft light beneath the clouds allowed me to study the colours and details of the buildings without basing the entire composition on harsh shadows.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II, adapting the framing to the confined space of narrow streets or the breadth of the view over the water. The shot settings are available in the EXIF data alongside the photographs. This is my record of a walk through Venice, covering both its famous places and quieter corners noticed along the way.

Desenzano del Garda – photographs of the harbour and town by day and night
Desenzano del Garda has two faces in this album: a bright harbour with sailing boats and an evening town reflected in the water. I photographed the stone lighthouse, boats along the waterfront, pastel-coloured buildings, squares and outdoor restaurant seating after dark. Views of Lake Garda and distant mountains beneath expansive clouds complete the series.
During the day, I was interested in the lines of masts, the colour of the water and the buildings surrounding the harbour. In the evening, I turned my attention to streetlights, illuminated façades and their reflections between the moored boats. The night photographs also show urban details: arcades, tables, a palm tree in the square and a lit fountain.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II; EXIF data with the settings is available alongside the images. This is my account of Desenzano, combining urban photography with the lake landscape. Rather than one representative view, I show different fragments of the town and how its atmosphere changes with the light.

Gondolas in Venice – photographs of moorings, boats and reflections
I dedicate this album to gondolas moored along Venetian waterfronts. Black hulls, colourful covers and wooden posts form repeated arrangements on the greenish water. Palace façades along the Grand Canal, churches and distant bell towers appear in the background, keeping the boats part of the urban landscape.
When photographing gondolas, I focused on their shapes and the rhythm of the moorings. Sometimes I chose a single boat between landing stages, at other times a row of hulls and tall posts. Reflections on the rippling water change the character of these compositions. Alongside colour photographs, I also present a black-and-white frame in which lines and contrast play a greater role.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II, and you will find their settings in the EXIF data. This is a quieter part of my view of Venice: not an account of a boat trip, but an observation of boats waiting by the shore and the architecture visible above them.

Prague – photographs of the Old Town, Charles Bridge and Prague Castle
In this album I show Prague during walks through its historic streets and along the Vltava. The photographs include Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, Charles Bridge, the Powder Tower and Prague Castle with St Vitus Cathedral. I also venture beyond the Old Town, photographing Wenceslas Square, the National Museum building and the interiors of the historic railway station.
I am interested both in the city panorama and in details seen up close. I juxtapose red roofs and Gothic towers with mosaics, decorated façades and vaulted ceilings. Passers-by, trams and small cafés remain in the frames because, alongside architecture, I want to show the everyday movement of the city. Evening photographs introduce a different mood through illuminations and reflections of lights in the water.
The series combines photographs taken with a Canon EOS 6D and an iPhone 11 Pro; the settings for individual shots can be checked in their EXIF data. This is my photographic account of Prague, from recognisable monuments to fragments of streets and interiors that caught my attention along the way.

Verona – photographs of monuments, bridges and panoramas along the Adige
In this album I show Verona from street level and from viewpoints overlooking a bend in the Adige and the city’s red roofs. The gallery includes the Arena di Verona, the courtyard with Juliet’s balcony, bridges and historic squares. Panoramas of riverside buildings alternate with photographs of houses, gateways, towers and people walking through the centre.
When photographing, I paid attention to the layout of the city around the river. Bridge arches, the line of the waterfront and colourful façades guide the eye through successive planes. In tighter frames I looked for wall paintings, shutters, arcades and other details that are easy to miss when viewing a broad panorama. Clouds above the city provide a subdued backdrop for the warm shades of brick and plaster.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II, combining wide architectural views with closer shots of the buildings. You will find the photo settings in the EXIF data. This is my record of a walk through Verona, from recognisable monuments to urban scenes and views along the Adige.

Cranes in Gdańsk – photographs of the shipyard and the city’s industrial skyline
In this album, I show shipyard cranes in Gdańsk against halls, quays and ships. Green steel structures and their slanting booms create a distinctive rhythm above the buildings. The gallery combines closer views of groups of cranes with wider panoramas of the city’s industrial area, photographed beneath cloudy skies.
I am interested in the geometry of these structures: vertical supports, latticework and arms crossing on successive planes. Wider frames also reveal the cranes’ surroundings, so they are not isolated objects but part of the extensive shipyard space. Subdued light emphasises their silhouettes and allows attention to focus on form.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, combining focal lengths suited to panoramas with closer views of selected structures. You can find the settings for individual photographs in the EXIF data. This is my view of Gdańsk’s industrial landscape and of objects that can be just as interesting photographic subjects as the city’s historic streets.

Sopot in winter – photographs of the pier, beach and Baltic
I show Sopot in winter through its snow-covered pier, broad beach and calm marina water. White railings, rows of lamps and the seaside pavilion create clear lines against the blue sky. Walkers and birds remain in the photographs — small figures that convey the breadth of the coastal landscape.
While photographing, I paid attention to the low sun, long shadows and reflections on the water. Alongside snowy views, the gallery also contains frames without snow cover: wooden jetties, fishing boats on the sand and a stream flowing into the sea. A night view of the pier shows lamplight reflected in long streaks across dark water.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D; you can find the settings for individual frames in the EXIF data beside the photographs. This is my view of Sopot outside the summer season, focused on light, the space of the beach and details of coastal architecture. The winter landscape is not only grey here — sunny frames reveal the blue sea and the contrast between white and dark water.

Gdańsk in winter – photographs of the Motława, historic sights and seaside walks
For me, Gdańsk in winter is above all about walks with a camera among historic townhouses and along the Motława. In this album, I show snowy quays, the historic Crane, granaries and moored ships reflected in calm water. Blue skies and windless weather reveal the colours of façades and their mirror images.
In subsequent photographs, I visit Mariacka Street and look closely at decorative terraces, the Green Gate, the town hall tower and the sculpture of Neptune. I combine wide city views with architectural details. Coastal frames complete the gallery: walkers beside the shore, seagulls above the water and a pier illuminated at night.
Gdańsk remains one of my favourite places to relax, including outside the summer season. These photographs show different faces of winter: from snow and sunshine to cloudy days without a white covering. I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D; you can check the settings for individual frames under the “More Info” button.

Historic towns of Croatia – photographs of streets, squares and landmarks
Historic Croatian towns are stone streets, illuminated squares and historic buildings beside coastal promenades. In this gallery, I present my photographs of architecture and everyday life in Croatian old towns — from wide views to small façade details.
The photographs show church towers, columns, arcades and stone portals, as well as wells, stairs and narrow passages between houses. Green shutters, balcony flowers and washing hanging above courtyards reveal a more intimate side of these places. Rooftop panoramas, harbours with boats and ferries, and walks along the Adriatic complete the collection.
In these frames, I pay attention to the rhythm of windows and arches, the texture of stone and the contrast between shaded lanes and sunlit squares. Passers-by and café tables reveal historic spaces as part of a living town, rather than simply a collection of old buildings.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D. Wide views show the surroundings of buildings, while closer frames reveal decorations and sections of façades. I invite you to explore the gallery and discover the varied forms of Croatian architecture.

Fireworks over Gliwice – photographs of New Year’s Eve displays
Fireworks over Gliwice light up the night sky in red, gold, white and green. In this gallery, I present my photographs of New Year’s Eve fireworks: from individual trails of light to broad bursts overlapping above the city’s rooftops.
The dark silhouettes of buildings and antennas provide a reference point for the colourful explosions. One frame also includes an illuminated church tower, with numerous distant fireworks visible behind it. Smoke scattering the light and falling arcs of sparks give each photograph a different arrangement of colours and lines.
I took the photographs from a tripod using BULB mode. Longer exposures recorded the paths of sparks rather than a single flash. In photographs with available EXIF data, I used a Canon EOS 6D, ISO 200 and apertures of f/8 and f/11. Exposures lasted from 6.3 to 33 seconds, allowing several successive bursts to combine in some frames.
This album shows Gliwice on New Year’s Eve through light and movement. I am interested both in the urban setting and the almost abstract forms appearing in the night sky. I invite you to explore the photographs and compare how exposure time changes the appearance of fireworks.
See also my lightning photographs, in which bolts illuminate the night sky, creating completely different patterns of light.
Mostar – photographs of the Old Bridge, Neretva and mountain landscape
In this gallery, I show Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the perspective of the river and the mountains surrounding the city. The main subject is the Neretva: its turquoise water, rocky banks and buildings standing right beside the current. The stone arch of the Old Bridge rises above the river, seen against houses, minarets and mountain slopes.
In urban frames, I am interested in the connection between architecture and its natural surroundings. Pale walls and red roofs contrast with green trees and the colour of the water. The line of the river leads the eye into the image, while the bridge organises the composition. Different viewpoints reveal both the crossing itself and the arrangement of buildings on either side of the Neretva.
The album also includes wider landscapes: extensive buildings in the valley, mountains partly obscured by low clouds and a green plain beneath a broad sky. These photographs leave more room for space and show Mostar in the context of its surroundings. I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, using focal lengths from 17 to 36 mm. Wide frames allowed me to combine the river, architecture and mountain backdrop in one image. Detailed camera settings are available under the “More Info” button.
See also my photographs of historic Croatian towns, in which I show stone streets, squares and historic architecture from the perspective of a photographic walk.
Gliwice Radio Station – photographs of the wooden tower by day and night
In this gallery, Gliwice Radio Station is above all a photographic subject: a wooden structure, the rhythm of intersecting beams and a silhouette that changes with the light. I show the tower in daylight against clouds and at night, when illumination draws its lattice structure out of the dark sky. Alongside wide views are close-ups of platforms, antennas and the summit.
Photographing upwards from the base, I looked for frames that emphasised converging lines and the scale of the structure. In some photographs, the beams create an almost symmetrical arrangement; in others, an oblique perspective gives the structure dynamism. Wider views also show the radio station’s surroundings: green space, a path, benches and street lamps. This allows architectural details to be compared with views of the whole tower.
The night photographs have a different character. Illuminated wood and bright points of light stand out clearly against the background, while coloured light at the base adds another accent. I took the photographs in this album with Canon EOS 6D and Canon EOS R6 Mark II cameras. For the night series, I used 30-second exposures; changing the focal length allowed me to move from the complete silhouette to parts of the structure. You can find the settings for each frame under the “More Info” button.
See also my photographs of cranes in Gdańsk, in which technical structures, their geometry and silhouettes become the main subject of the urban landscape.
Bodrum – photographs of the marina, castle and coastal landscapes of Turkey
In this gallery, I show Bodrum through its harbour, historic architecture and views from the surrounding hills. White houses, blue water and dry, rocky slopes create a distinctive combination of colours. Alongside a panorama of the bay are photographs of yachts and wooden boats, the castle above the harbour and the coast at Kadikale.
In the marina, the rhythm of masts caught my attention. In one photograph, the orange sun appears between them, turning the harbour view into a composition of dark lines and warm light. Other frames show boats against buildings and mountains. Wider views reveal the coastline, city layout and gentle curve of the bay.
The later part of the album leads towards old windmills, stone walls and an ancient theatre. Repeating rows of seats and the exposed structure of a windmill’s sails introduce clear geometry into the photographs. I am interested both in detail and in the relationship between buildings and the surrounding landscape. I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, using focal lengths from 24 to 105 mm. This allowed me to combine wide views with closer photographs of the harbour and architecture. You can find the settings for individual frames under the “More Info” button.

Warsaw from above – the city panorama from the Palace of Culture and Science
I took the Warsaw photographs in this album from the viewing terrace of the Palace of Culture and Science. This perspective reveals the street layout, dense city-centre buildings and skyscrapers rising above the urban blocks. The gallery includes the distinctive form of Złota 44 and the National Stadium visible in the distance.
When photographing the capital’s panorama, I combined wide views with closer images of selected buildings. I was interested in the divisions of glass façades, the directions of streets and differences in building heights. Clouds and changing light give each frame a different character, although they all show the city from the same vantage point.
I used a Canon EOS 6D, a wide-angle lens and a polarising filter, and also photographed selected parts of the panorama at a longer focal length. Detailed settings are available in the EXIF data beside the photographs. This is my photographic record of Warsaw seen from above, as well as a collection of images for people looking for urban subjects for publications and projects.

Dubrovnik – photographs of the Old Town, walls and harbour on the Adriatic
In this gallery, I show Dubrovnik from street level and from the perspective of the city walls. The photographs combine the stone architecture of the Old Town with red rooftops and the blue Adriatic. The Old Harbour is an important subject: moored boats, calm water and massive fortifications surrounding the waterfront.
In views from above, I am interested in the rhythm of roof tiles, the street layout and squares filled with people. The bell tower, fountain and pale façades help orient the viewer within the dense buildings. Street-level frames offer a closer look at stone paving, shutters and architectural details. The presence of people gives these photographs scale and reminds us that the historic city remains a living space.
Beyond the buildings, I show walls standing on rocks, a fortress above a small bay and the open sea beneath illuminated clouds. I like the contrast between heavy stone structures, water and the broad sky. I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, using focal lengths from 17 to 40 mm. Wide views allowed me to connect the foreground with the harbour, rooftop panorama or coastline. The album is my photographic view of Dubrovnik’s architecture and its relationship with the coastal landscape. You can find the camera settings under the “More Info” button.
See also my photographs of Mostar and the Old Bridge over the Neretva, in which stone architecture meets the colour of water and the city’s mountain surroundings.
Industrial sites – photographs of ports and cargo-handling installations
In this gallery, I show the industrial landscape of ports: cranes, conveyors, storage yards and ships alongside quays. The photographs include tanks at the LNG terminal in Świnoujście and extensive cargo-handling installations. Wide frames reveal the scale of these facilities, while closer views show the arrangement of steel structures and equipment.
In industrial photography, I look above all for rhythm, geometry and the relationship between a structure and its surroundings. The vertical silhouettes of cranes contrast with the waterline, while a network of conveyors organises the terminal space. Daytime and evening photographs show how light changes the perception of the same functional architecture.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D. You can check the settings for individual images in the EXIF data available beside the photographs. The album is also intended for people looking for illustrations of business, port and logistics topics. To use a selected image in a trade publication or another project, explore the photo stock and contact me.

Malbork Castle – winter photographs of walls, courtyards and interiors
In this gallery, I show Malbork Castle from two perspectives: as an extensive brick building above the Nogat and as a collection of interiors full of architectural details. Winter photographs include walls behind bare trees, snowy courtyards and a panorama of the castle across the river. Bright snow contrasts with brick and emphasises the lines of paths, roofs and buildings.
Inside, I direct attention towards vaults, slender columns and tall windows. Wide frames show the arrangement of halls, while closer views allow the eye to follow radiating vault ribs. The album also includes the castle church, a well surrounded by cloisters and a display of the historic kitchen. Vessels, a wooden table and a masonry hearth introduce a different scale from the extensive façades seen outside.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D at focal lengths from 17 to 40 mm. Changing light required different settings: from short exposures in the courtyard to a five-second exposure inside the church. Alongside colour photographs, I present a black-and-white view of the kitchen, in which textures and contrasts stand out more clearly. This is my view of the castle through space, light and details that are easy to overlook during a visit. You can find the settings for individual frames under the “More Info” button.
