My name is Jakub Polomski and I am a professional Polish photographer specializing in landscape and travel photography. Here’s my story and I hope it inspires you.
2005 was a difficult year for me. I graduated from school and I didn’t have any idea what to do in my life. I saw some pictures on National Geographic magazine that inspired me to get involved into photography. I borrowed a camera from a friend and began photographing landscapes around my hometown Cieszyn. I was reading about photography and learning everything by myself. As a beginner, I believed 80% of my photos were good, so I decided to publish them on the Internet. Although they were not good and I got a lot of negative comments, the critique I received gave me loads of motivation. I wanted to prove myself and others that I could do better.
I became popular on Behance. This is how I’m reaching for my own American Dream.
