Awards & Press

A body of work that speaks for itself

Over a decade of work, national and international awards, features in the Polish national press. Here are the most important ones.

The awards up close

What is behind each of them

Behind each of these awards are years of work and hundreds of frames. Here are the ones that mean the most to me, and why.

Foodelia numer 1 na świecie — Marcin Kaźmieruk
#1 in the world · Foodelia 2025

Number one, earned over a whole year

Number one in the world at Foodelia is not one lucky frame. Foodelia counts points all year round, so to finish first you have to deliver top quality consistently, dish after dish, for twelve months. It is the title I am most proud of, because it stands on a full year of work and persistence, not on chance.

International Photography Awards 2026

On the podium, judged worldwide

IPA is one of the most prestigious photography competitions in the world, with thousands of entries from dozens of countries. In 2026 I took podium places and honourable mentions in several categories, and received the awards at a gala in the Benaki Museum in Athens. Every verdict like this is confirmation from an international jury that a frame holds up on both craft and story.

Flash Masters · Top 10 in the world

In the world's top ten

Top 10 in the world at Flash Masters in Environmental Photography. It is a ranking of the best photographers working with light outdoors, from all over the world. Being in the global top ten is a huge distinction for me, because what counts there is the idea, the light and the courage, not the gear.

Spotlight Awards 2026 · Production Paradise

Food & Drink shortlist

The Spotlight Awards are run by Production Paradise, a platform used by agencies and brands worldwide. Entries are judged by art buyers and creative directors, including from brands like Unilever and Arla. Making the shortlist, the TOP 10 in the food category, is a sign that my frames hold up in front of the people who buy advertising photography for a living.
