Darek Szwedo
My name is Darek Szwedo. I’m 21, I was born and raised in Poland. At the age of 13, I moved out to the United Kingdom and 2 years later, I discovered photography. At the age of 17, I started getting into the advertising side of it and a year after that, I was totally consumed by it. I studied photography in college and am currently studying BA Commercial Photography at University of Derby. Apart from photography, I do plenty of retouching: advertising, composites, fashion as well as beauty - not just for my self but also for other brands/companies as well as teaching classes/courses. Several of my pieces of work have already been published e.g. Advanced Photoshop or Fashionista Magazine. See my work on: my website and blog.
