His photos were published in 'Polish Photography Antology', 'Masters of Polish Landscape', 'Fantastic Photography' and many others prestiguous catalogues. Until the end of the 60's he was busy with traditional photography. During the 70's he used traditional photography as a basis for some experiments with noble techniques and photo-montage to make them individual art. This period of his activity within 'creative-photography' was not only pure experiments with two-dimensional area of photo-shooting but also creating a new area for photography purposes. He was greatly fascinated by digital photo techniques and its possibilities to individual interpretation of a picture. He was the first polish photographer to make digital montage on primitive computers available then. In 1988 in warsaw 'Old Gallery' ZPAF he presented the first polish ebxhibition of digitally converted photos that were later showed in many countries. Starting from 1987 he develops digital techniques of photo-shooting but also makes some progress with traditional photography. Many of his photos are not only in private collections but also in museum files. For example in National Museum in Wroclaw. He is still involved with many internet presentations and his photographies became the key element of works we can admire on prestiguous portals. http://www.berdak.eu
