TomaszKawecki is a photographer. He completed courses at the Faculty of Architecture at the Cracow University of Technology. He is currently writing a bachelor's thesis on paranormal phenomena in photography at the Institute of Creative Photography in Opava. His works have been exhibited and published internationally, recognised by photography awards in the US, Poland, Japan and Italy among others. He has recently started teaching courses in photography.

Tomasz’s work is inspired by various manifestations of nature. Using elements of performance and installation, Kawecki’s practice explores the intersections of fiction and reality, resulting in quasi documentary outcome. He applies universal symbols that are archetypes of society’s collective thinking, whilst the dualism present in nature and man is a leitmotif in his work. He is interested in old legends and myths.
