I have two passions in life: sailing and film photography. In 2025, I discovered that they can become one story.
Hi, my name is Zuzanna Sczyrba.
I have two passions in life: sailing and film photography. In 2025, I discovered that they can be combined when I made a documentary film from a month-long voyage of the Polish sailing vessel STS Generał Zaruski to the Arctic.
Now I am trying to combine them again.
Since 2023, I have been studying cinematography at film school. I began my sailing journey in 2016.
A documentary film made during a month-long voyage of the Polish sailing vessel STS Generał Zaruski to the Arctic.
I have always been drawn to water. I used to train swimming, I like diving and windsurfing, and I also shoot a bow.
I worked as a sailing instructor during Masurian cruises, where Paweł and I met. Now we sail at sea more often.
I like spending nights under the stars — on deck, by a campfire, or in a hammock.
I enjoy train journeys, and they often appear in my photographs.
I also like different kinds of manual work, such as oil painting and drawing.
Things are easiest for me to explain through drawings. I am probably a visual thinker, but I also like listening to audiobooks and to people. I believe that an image can communicate everything — maybe that is why I am a cinematographer.
Whether you want to talk about sailing, photography, film, or future projects.
