Jan Masny has been a creative photographer for the last 20 years. Having long been fascinated by polarities and contrasts of meaning, his ability to extract often unexpected aspects from his subjects gives a freshness and depth to his work. Beginning with the practice of the black and white analogue photography and darkroom experiments in his native Poland, his passion for finding unique ways of expression quickly developed in London whilst working in the advertising and fashion industries, before evolving in the last decade to moving image, where his knowledge of photographic film processes enhanced his ability to achieve visual effects using analogue methods in filming. A Masters in Moving Image from Ravensbourne University with new methods of expression in CGI and digital VFX now allows him to translate his photographic experience to the digital realm. Because of his passion for mountain climbing, his personal work is focused on filming outdoor adventures. His 2012 film “Todra Gorge” made the Official Selection in the XVIII Mountain Film Festival of A. Zawada in Ladek Zdroj, and won 2nd Award in “Oddalenia” Short Film Festival in Dublin. Read Less
