Photographer Jakub Ustrzycki (Poland) Can you tell us a little about you? Hi, my name is Jacob and I am 35 years old IT-specialist with a great hobby. A hobby that alows me to slown down a bit with my daily duties and responsibilities, and it's a great way to meet new people as well. How and when did you get into photography? My father has the same hobby and back in 90' I was always spying on Him during old style photo processing that He was performing in home-made modest photo lab. I wasn't doing much photoshoots before I've got married in 2012. Fiew months after that I bought my first camera and start to shoot some pictures for my private use. When I've learned the basics I started to take my camera to all family events, people started to pose in front of my lens and after some time they (usually friends and family) were asking me to perfom some small photoshoots for them. What does photography mean to you? It's a great way to meet new people, and hold on a bit with daily rush. It's not only about taking the photos, it's also the post production that I found very relaxing and satisfying. Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. I think I don't have my own style as right now I am usually mixing styles even during one photoshoot. As photography can give you a wide range of possibilities I think I will never lock myself in one particular style. This is my hobby and I can freely experiment and test different ways of photo shooting and editing. Where do you get inspiration from? In most times I am trying to build the vision from pictures that I saw in the internet or magazines. I am using them as a sort of posing base template which can provide various of options with different lighting setup, outfits etc. I am reviewing many photos daily, usually on Facebook photography groups and Instagram. What has been your most memorable session and why? I think it was the first studio shoot when I realized how many possible lighting set opportunities I have and how much knowledge I am still missing.This was also my first sensual session, and I really appriciate the assisntace of my friend photographer who helped me a lot with my studio trip commencement.
