Close to nature - Limited Edition 1 of 5 Photograph

Born and raised in Wrocław, Poland, Misha Martin first came across photography because of his grandfather, to whom taking pictures and filming was more than just a hobby – but not a profession either. Among few memories with his grandpa, Misha recalls installing a screen and projector and watching slides together. Given that this dates back to mid 90s, just a couple of years after Poland freed itself from the communist oppression, Misha's grandpa's collection of photographs and professional tools was truly a boast. Later in life, Misha himself tried photography while still in high school. After graduation, he worked as a bartender, event manager, and DJ, and all this allowed him to carry out his artistic activities through reportage and event photography. Having abandoned his big city life, Misha moved to an idyllic countryside in the heart of Polish mountains, where he now lives and works with his wife and a gang of cats. The proximity of nature has inspired him to look at the surrounding world with an artistic insight. Away from the urban noise and disturbance, Misha began capturing wildlife, animals, nature, and landscape in uninterrupted circumstances, while also finding inspiration in the evolution of moment.
