Jakub is a filmmaker and cinematographer drawn to real stories, remote places, and the beauty of natural light.

Fascinated by people and places far from home since childhood, he grew up dreaming of becoming an archaeologist, a sailor, or an explorer. It wasn’t until his late twenties, after trying various paths, that he found a medium that allowed him to be all those things and more: filmmaking.

His cinematography is grounded in intention, favoring natural light, stripped-back setups, and a strong connection to place. His deep understanding of natural light allows him to adapt to challenging environments and shape images that are both beautiful and honest.

Whether filming in the jungles of Congo or the highlands of Nepal, Jakub brings a calm presence and a slow, respectful process to every project.

His cinematography and storytelling have been trusted by organizations such as Greenpeace, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Earthrise Studio, Studio Birthplace, Sony Alpha, and Rolex.

Based between Bali and Europe, he’s always chasing light and the next meaningful story worth telling.
