Janusz Miarka was born in the small Polish town of Klobuck near Czestochowa. However, he spent his childhood among the picturesque landscapes of the small village of Lubomin near Walbrzych. In that environment, he learned to love nature, to value the beauty of our mother's land and to respect people. He began his adventure with photography at the age of 10, when he dug out somewhere among the forgotten things in his home an old camera "Smiena 6". He became a maniac of photography. At the same time, he organised his first photographic darkroom in a small bathroom. He began to put aside his pocket money to buy a better camera and enlarger, which, by the way, he still holds till this day. After graduating from a technical school, the realities of adult life meant that he gave up his beloved photograph for several years. In 2006 he moved to London. He started a new life. He quickly realised that the new realities would allow him to buy a new digital camera and equipment, which will be enabling him to continue his passion.
One of his first fine-art work "For Eliza" was noticed by Piotr Kowalik, a portrait photographer who later on trained Janusz and showed him "what the light is". Janusz started working in the studio and improving his skills as a portrait and fashion photographer. In 2016, Janusz decided to enhance his education. He began BA Photography course at the University of West London, which he graduated with the result of First Class in 2019. Janusz started travelling to Africa, he fell in love with this continent and wants to settle in one of the South Africans countries. One of the fruits of his journey to Botswana and a great achievement is his publication of a photo book titled "Sexaxa", what happened in the second year of his course. The University of West London purchased this book, and you can find it in the UWL library.
