Paweł Piotrowski ur. w 1986 w Oleśnicy. Jestem absolwentem Akademii Sztuk Pięknych im. Eugeniusza Gepperta we Wrocławiu na Wydziale Grafiki i Sztuki Mediów. Jako fotografa szczególnie interesują mnie humanistyczne aspekty otaczającej nas rzeczywistości. W swojej pracy skupiam się na długoterminowych projektach, które opowiadają o życiu codziennym. Współpracowałem z Dolnośląską Szkołą Wyższą oraz Regionalnym Ośrodkiem Edukacji, gdzie prowadziłem zajęcia oraz szkolenia z zakresu fotografii oraz grafiki użytkowej. Obecnie pracuję w Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim jako fotograf oraz filmowiec. Wykorzystuję swoją wiedzę i doświadczenie artystyczne przy produkcji materiałów audiowizualnych. Współpracuję z badaczami różnych dziedzin i współuczestniczę w promowaniu osiągnięć naukowców z Polski w kraju oraz za granicą. Jestem laureatem licznych konkursów: w Poznańskiej Nagrodzie Fotograficznej zwyciężyłem w kategorii ogólnopolskiej za najlepszy projekt dokumentalny, wykonany w Polsce po 2005 r., nominowano mnie do nagrody za projekt długoterminowy w Grand Press Photo. Byłem nagradzany w Slovak Press Photo 2017, jestem zdobywcą Grand Prix w Viva! Photo Awards 2017 i 2016, laureatem konkursu “Pokaż się” w ramach Opolskiego Festiwalu Fotografii 2017, laureatem „Złoty Talent Roku 2016” Galerii PIX.HOUSE, oraz zdobywcą 2 miejsca w Brussels Street Photography Festival 2016.
W 2018 roku byłem stypendystą Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego w dziedzinie sztuk wizualnych.
Paweł Piotrowski, I was born in 1986 in Oleśnica, Poland. I am a graduate of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw at the Faculty of Graphic and Media Arts. As a photographer, I am particularly interested in the humanistic aspects of the reality around us. In my work, I focus on long-term projects about everyday life. I have collaborated with the Lower Silesian University and the Regional Education Center, where I have taught classes and trainings in photography and graphic design. Currently I work at the University of Wroclaw as a photographer and filmmaker. I use my knowledge and artistic experience in the production of audiovisual stuff. I cooperate with researchers in various fields and participate in promoting the achievements of Polish scientists at home and abroad. I am the winner of numerous competitions: in the Poznan Photo Award I won in the national category for the best documentary project made in Poland after 2005, I was nominated for a long-term project award in Grand Press Photo - the most important national competition for photojournalists in Poland. I was awarded in Slovak Press Photo 2017, I am the Grand Prix winner in Viva! Photo Awards 2017 and 2016, the winner of the “Show Yourself ” contest in the Opole Festival of Photography 2017, the winner of the “Golden Talent of the Year 2016” PIX.HOUSE Gallery, and winner of 2nd place in the Brussels Street Photography Festival 2016.
In 2018, I was the recipient of a scholarship from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage in the field of visual arts.
