About

Marcin Sacha

I was born in 1970 in Tarnów, the southern part of Poland. I became interested in photography in 2004. I began with the landscape. Then I felt the need to try something more personal and something that is closer to painting, which always fascinated me the most. So after a few years of landscape photography, I started to create photo montages. It is a technique that gives a lot of creative freedom, because created worlds can be completely unlimited. At the same time, photo-montage is connected to the real world by strong bond thanks to the use of photography.

I am a member of the Polish Republic’s Photoclub Association of Authors, a holder of the AFRP title. I hold also a distinction of ‘Artist FIAP’ (AFIAP) awarded by the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP).

I presented my works at ten individual and many collective exhibitions. I took part in dozens of international photographic salons, winning a number of medals, awards and honours.

I live and work in Kraków.
