Winners of Jazz World Photo 2019

Mariusz Buczma / PL

I am really pleased that photography I submitted to the competition has been appreciated. This is a great pleasure for me.  I love all kinds of music especially jazz and blues. Music accompanies me almost all of the time. I don’t have many occasions to photograph music events but when I do, I photograph them with pleasure. Usually I photograph totally different type of pictures mostly interior design and products. In my free time I take portraits, acts and landscapes photographs, also analog once. Working in the darkroom is still the real pleasure to me.
