In mid-1950s, he went in for humanistic reportage presented, among others, in the pages of: “Stolica”, “Polska”, “Ty i Ja”, “Die Zeit”, “Stern”, "Der Spiegel" and “Art” and was engaged in documenting various manifestations of visual culture in Poland and abroad: from art, through fashion, to pop music. He spent the 1970s as an émigré in West Germany only to return to Warsaw in 1980, where he has been living and working ever since.
