About Jacek

Mountain photography shaped by experience, emotion and place

I’m Jacek — a mountain photographer based in Zermatt, creating images for people, brands and places connected to the Alps.

My story

I live close to the mountains because this is where I feel most alive.

I’m a photographer based in the Zermatt region, where I’ve been living for almost ten years. My journey with photography started more than two decades ago and has taken me through travel, outdoor sports, commercial projects and personal mountain stories.

The mountains are my passion, my peace and the place where I feel most connected. They are not only a background for my work — they are part of the way I see, move and create.

Through photography, I want to bring people into that world. Whether I photograph a couple beneath the Matterhorn, a hotel, a mountain athlete or a quiet alpine landscape, I look for images that feel honest, natural and full of atmosphere.

Every session is personal. I bring you to places that matter to me — places where light, landscape and emotion come together naturally.

Mountain life

Photography is only one part of the way I live in the mountains.

The Alps are not just my workplace. They shape my rhythm, my ideas and the way I see light, weather, people and emotion.

I spend my time moving through alpine landscapes — climbing, skiing, hiking, scouting locations and returning to places in different seasons. This gives my work a very personal connection to Zermatt and the surrounding mountains.

How I work

I don’t just photograph what something looks like. I photograph how it feels to be there.

My work is calm, personal and strongly connected to place. I care about light, atmosphere, natural emotion and the small details that make a photograph feel real.
