About Me

​

Tomasz Sobczak is a fine art photographer and educator based in Tarnów, Poland. He studied at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow Academy, and the Pedagogical University of Kraków, and earned his photography diploma with distinction from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. His creative approach focuses on applying the photographic medium to contemporary art, balancing visual experimentation with respect for tradition.

Since 2019, he has been developing a signature technique of subjective hand-coloring using three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow), featured in series such as "C'est la Vie", "City Structures", and "Heimat.Europa – hEu#". His portfolio also spans recognized fine art nude photography (including "Nameless ACT", "Chałupy Welcome To", and "Shape of the Body") as well as architectural abstraction ("Shape of Architecture"). His works have been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Poland and on almost every continent.

He holds the international artistic title EFIAP (Excellence FIAP) awarded by the International Federation of Photographic Art. He serves as a Board Member of the Photoclub of the Republic of Poland and was the President of the Tarnów Photographic Society for 16 years (2008–2024), where he now holds the title of Honorary President. In addition, he works as a curator and organizer of cultural initiatives, including the exhibition cycle "Vernissages Day by Day" at the Tarnów Centre of Culture. His artistic contributions have been recognized with the Cross of Merit, the Silver Medal "For Photographic Creativity" (2020, 2025), and the Award of the City of Tarnów (2024)
