About me

My name is Mateusz Piesiak and I am a wildlife photographer based in Wrocław, Poland. I graduated in Automatics and Robotics at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, but work as a website designer and professional photographer.

Growing up I was spending as much time as possible immersed in nature learning about animals and observing them. In 2009 I got my first camera and since then the journey with wildlife photography began. At first I was just documenting every animal I saw but over the years I focused on a more thoughtful approach, where I planned images in my head and tried to realize the vision in the field. I quickly realized that it requires a tone of patience and often, after days of waiting, animals just don’t show up and I come home without any result. But when I finally take a long-awaited shot, it rewards all efforts.

In nature photography, I enjoy the feeling of being concealed in my hiding place, and like a visitor sitting in the front row of the theater, I can admire the great spectacle of nature taking place just in front of me. It is a true honor to be able to witness these moments and share them with other people through my photographs.
