My name is Wojciech Barański. I was born 1974 in Poland. How I look You can see on the picture aside. It was made a few years ago, but I didn't change that much - I hope ;-). 1999 I graduated the Warsaw University of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska, Warszawa), where I have been studying computer science in the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology. Since then I work in my profession. I'm interested in photography, I practise sport - mainly I play basketball and squash. I'm also interested in new trends in contemporary science (physics, sciences that research the universum, etc.) and popular-scientific literature. As well I like travelling especially to places, that are not visited by crouds of turists.

My adventure with photography started at the end of 1998. Then after I came back from Grece where I had an "idiot-type" camera, I processed the films and... was simply disappointed. The beautiful views that we saw there, looked on the pictures very poorly. Since then I started thinking about a better camera. A friend of mine, who has been shooting photos for a while, advised me to buy a good camera from the begining. So I bought a Canon camera. I thought then, that this new equipment was so good, that I will never have to buy anything more - if I only new the future... :-)

Since then photography became my passion - I live in a very interesting place, which influenced my interest for nature. In the neighbourhood of my house there are ponds, woods and meadows, where still wild animals can be found: roe-deers, hares, foxes, herons, aquatic birds and birds of prey and also insects. I started to observe them and tried to capture the moments of their lives on the film. What is the result You can judge by Yourself...
