Bartosz Michalik Photography
Portrait of Bartosz Michalik

About

I am a street photographer based in Kraków. My work grows out of a simple habit: I watch people and try to catch the unique moments that unfold around us every day.

I believe that photography needs time and legwork — you have to walk your photos into existence. I naturally shoot more while traveling, but over the years I've also learned to slow down and really observe my hometown, Kraków, discovering moments I used to overlook. I carry a camera with me everywhere, ready to react when something subtle or unexpected appears.
