Monika Ekiert Jezusek about herself: I have been photographing since I was 16 years old, and it was not until just a few years ago that I discovered that this form of expression best suits me. In school I have learned to operate and manipulate consciously the form in question.I chose photography as a medium which is rich in expression and also as one which creates a specific relationship or rather a close bond with man.
