Photographer and photojournalist, deals with studio, advertising and portrait photography. His greatest passion is the demanding and time-consuming social and war photography - as he considers "non-media" yet timeless. For many years he worked for the Corbis agency, among others. He also works with NGOs - Unicef and UNDP PAH, Omenaa Foundation. He has done photo essays in more than a hundred countries, which have been published in leading titles around the world. Marcin Suder is a brave and sensitive man, as a war photographer he rubbed shoulders with death more than once (there was a famous case of kidnapping and imprisonment of a reporter in Syria from where he miraculously managed to get out), but he believes that choosing such a profession one has to reckon with risk. He stresses that he is there for people who cannot leave and choose another life. An extraordinary photographer dedicated to his work with great passion. In his photographs there is a clear respect for the people he meets and portraits, their customs and daily life, as well as the beauty of nature.
