Jerzy Gaweł
Founder of the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design and School of Creative Photography (SKF). A photographer with very extensive experience in both commercial work and teaching photography, which is his great passion. He teaches nude photography and gumprinting.
In his pedagogical and artistic work he is constantly looking for new approaches to classical photographic subjects, thus creating a new quality in the photographer’s work. The unconventionality of his approach to photographic subjects and teaching results in the creation of unconventional works in his studios, which attract photographic university tours from all over the world. A meeting at the Gumpprint Studio was on the agenda of photographers from England, Scotland, Holland, Germany and Australia.
He has conducted masterclasses at photography events in Poland and abroad, including fashion photography at the CMTV Television School in Tbilisi, Georgia, and at the Umelcov Spisa GALLERY in Slovakia.
He invites world-famous photographers and designers. Guest lectures or workshops at the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design were by Jeanloup Sieff, Mark Bickerstaffe, Ernestine Ruben, Naomi Rosenblum, Martin Pegler, Gary Baseman, Carol Morgan, Drew Plunkett, Roger Ballen and others.
