I combine my passion for photography with my love of travel - I have visited many countries in the world and from each trip I prepare photographic documentation (of distant places, landscapes and people), which I then present at numerous exhibitions, meetings and multimedia shows. I am a member of the Wojnickie Towarzystwo Fotograficzne Fotum. I am the author and co-author of many photographic exhibitions; individual, collective, post-plein-air, post-competition. I took an active part in the International Photography Salons, organized (among others) under the patronage of FIAP, gaining many acceptances, medals, awards, distinctions, diplomas and letters of congratulations. The result of my participation in the International Photography Salons (under the patronage of FIAP) was that I was awarded (in 2017) the honorary title of Artiste FIAP (AFIAP) and (in 2018) the title of Excellence FIAP (EFIAP) by the International Federation of Photographic Art FIAP (based in Luxembourg). In 2018, I was appointed the Director of Membership of the Photographic Society of America in Poland - this function is the first time (in the history of PSA) that a Pole has held it, I am the Liaison Officer of the Photographic Society of America in Poland. On April 24, 2018, I received the QPSA certificate (Recognition of Photographic Achievement) - this is the first such distinction for a Pole. Each of my works is a separate story of place, time, weather conditions, time of day, year, etc. However, the whole thing reveals a common denominator - in my opinion - it is the correlation of our existence with the world around us. The great photographer Robert Bresson said that: "When taking pictures, try to show what, without you, no one would see." I will stick to that. -Marcin Bawiec.
