Director of Photography based in Warsaw.
Całka shot films across Arctic storms, Saharan heat, the length of the Panamericana — driving cars better suited for museums than expeditions. He's drawn to stories pushing past comfort and borders, but just as comfortable on a studio stage or city street.
His path into cinematography began with still photography and grew hands-on working as an electrician and focus puller. Whether shooting drama, documentary, or advertising, Całka approaches each project with the same commitment: a well-prepared workflow rooted in emotion and story.
