Tomasz Cuncvir

I was born in 1988 in Wałbrzych, Poland. I have studied English Literature at University of Wrocław. In 2005 I moved to Perth, Australia and since 2013 I live in Germany.

Photography is a two step meditation process to me: first step happens behind the camera, and then the journey continues in a darkroom. I am a true slave of my camera and the fractal structure of my brain: there are ideas at every corner of thoughts.

I am often surprised when I see my prints, as if I were absent in the process of making them. It’s like a trance, a lucid dream…

Since 2014 I am a proud member of Lower Silesian Photographers Association,
