Krzysztof Jasiński
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Gdańsk, Poland
Krzysztof is a 21-year-old photographer based in Gdańsk, Poland. For the past four months, he's been exploring the world of concert photography - capturing the energy, emotion, and atmosphere of live music. So far, he's had the chance to shoot at several medium-sized concerts and events, and his goal is to take that experience to the next level - photographing some of the biggest concerts and music festivals in Poland, and eventually across Europe and beyond. One of the most meaningful moments in his journey so far was shooting for god.wifi at the 3ERA Festival - an experience that challenged him creatively and deepened his love for photography.
Patryk Soliwoda
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Olsztyn, Poland
Patryk is a 19-year-old photographer from Olsztyn, Poland. He's been into photography for about six years, but his first concert came much more recently - in September 2023. From that moment, concert photography completely drew him in. He feels most at home shooting rap events, as the culture and music are close to him. Most of the shows he's covered so far have been smaller, club-based concerts - but he's also had the chance to shoot at Strefa 57, his biggest event to date. Patryk enjoys both the intimate atmosphere of local club shows like Rapground Festival vol.2 in Rzeszów or Halasprojekt (which he's photographed twice), as well as the energy of larger events.
Miłosz Czupryniak
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Poznań, Poland
Based in Poznań, Miłosz got his first photo accreditation over three years ago - for Mata's final concert in Poznań. He says he feels most comfortable in small club venues, where there's more freedom and creative space - sometimes even stepping on stage or into the backstage area without any issues. "It's hard to get that kind of energy on big stages," he says. One of his favorite memories is a photo session in an ambulance with Kinny Zimmer during the Summerland Festival. "I came up with the idea about a week before the show and was really determined to make it happen. Since I had full access to the festival grounds, presenting the idea to Kinny was easy - he agreed instantly. The ambulance was already there, so we just moved it closer to the stage. After the shoot, he asked where the idea came from - and honestly, I still don't know. But it's definitely one of my favorite works."
Jan Krucz
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Warsaw, Poland
Jan is a photographer based in Warsaw, Poland. He has been working in photography since 2019, gaining experience as a studio and lighting assistant on major productions for brands such as Vogue Magazine and Netflix. During that time, he also graduated from the University of the Arts in Poznań (UAP) with a degree in intermedia photography. He stepped into concert photography in 2024, and since then he has captured artists such as Otsochodzi, Spięta Dresiara, Kuban, and Pro8l3m, working at events including Ing Silesia Beats, Fajer Festiwal, and Members Only Festival. One thing that defines Jan's visual style is his strong focus on light. For him, light has always been the most important element of photography, it shapes the character, depth, and atmosphere of every frame. Jan's goal is to photograph the biggest music festivals - not only in Poland, but across Europe, while continuing to develop his craft and explore different visual disciplines.
Karol Lach
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Kielce, Poland
Karol is a 20-year-old creative from Kielce, Poland. Recently, he's been diving deep into the underground scene - from local events to the UK vibe that inspires him most. He's been doing concert photography for less than a year, but his passion for capturing raw moments runs deep. Beyond photography, Karol creates music videos, video recaps, graphics, and clothing projects - describing himself more as a creator than a traditional photographer. "I just love creating cool stuff. Shooting at events, meeting new people in the industry, connecting and collaborating - that's what keeps me going. When I'm shooting, I really feel the moment. I never liked standing in the crowd, I wanted to be part of it, to create something real." For Karol, concert photography isn't about labels or fame - it's about living the music and being fully present in every frame.
Patryk Jakubiak
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Warsaw, Poland
Patryk is a 21-year-old photographer from Warsaw, Poland. He has been shooting concerts for around a year and a half, most often working at rap shows, although he's open to exploring different genres, as he enjoys a wide range of music. He approaches photography with a strongly artistic mindset. Patryk doesn't enjoy images that look too clean or perfect, he prefers frames with character, atmosphere, and something unique in them. Classic shots appear in his work too, but he naturally gravitates toward visuals that feel personal and expressive. One of the biggest moments in his journey so far was shooting Clout Festival this year. Being part of the event as media was a huge honor, and the photos he captured there remain some of his most meaningful and exciting work to date.
Lukáš Černohorský
Contributor – Concert Photographer
Czech Republic
Lukáš is a concert photographer from the Czech Republic, living just a few kilometers from the Polish border. He first started shooting shows by sneaking a film camera into concerts and fighting his way to the front rows - building his portfolio the old-school way, one roll at a time. In January 2024 he connected with his first artist, Redzed, and since then has photographed countless shows together - all originally shot on film. Everything changed in May last year, when Lukáš decided to fully step into digital photography, and things took off fast. Today he works as a tour photographer for Redzed and Cashanova Bulhar, and collaborates with the biggest label in the Czech Republic, Milion Plus, shooting their festivals and major events. He also had the chance to capture the latest edition of Clout Festival - one of the defining moments of his journey. What he loves most is photographing pure atmosphere and emotion, whether it's a small club show or a massive festival stage. Alongside touring, Lukáš is building a personal analog project at @analogmoments.tiff.
