Born in Poland, with chapters in Germany and now Switzerland, Ksawery Jan Oroczko is an analog film photographer with a profound appreciation for the art of capturing moments in their most raw and authentic form. His work revolves around the tactile, hands-on process of shooting on film, where each frame is a deliberate, thoughtful creation. For Ksawery, analog photography is more than just a medium—it’s a philosophy, one that values patience, craftsmanship, and the beauty of imperfections.

In an age of digital immediacy, Ksawery is drawn to the timeless nature of film, where every roll tells a story and every shot carries weight. The process of developing film—waiting to see how light and chemistry interact—is what fuels his passion, offering a sense of discovery and wonder that he believes digital cannot replicate.

Beyond his work in still images, Ksawery also brings his vision to life as a Director of Photography (DoP) in film, where his love for analog aesthetics often influences his approach to cinematography. A lover of water in all its forms, whether windsurfing, bodyboarding, swimming, or playing underwater rugby, he draws parallels between the fluidity of water and the organic process of working with film—both require flow, intuition, and respect for natural forces.

For Ksawery, analog photography isn’t just about capturing a moment—it’s about immersing in the full experience, where light, texture, and emotion come together to create something timeless and real.
