Irek Graff - PHOTOGRAPHY - TEACHING

WELCOME!

I am Ireneusz Graff. My first name is often shortened to "Irek".

Photography
has always been my great passion since the teens. Now it is often my job too. I organize slide shows, festivals, workshops, photo courses. Belong to the Polish Nature Photographers' Union ZPFP and even for a few years I was President of the Warsaw Branch (1999-2004) and all the society (2004-07).
I am also keen on other photographic topics as well as diaporama and multimedia professional slideshows.
Music is my second passion, however I cannot sing or play any instrument. What a pity! But you can often meet me at the concerts! And other events.
I am still in a hurry... I still have many plans and projects to do... So I am coming back to work... See you!

Feel invited to the sites:

Thanks for the visit!
