About Artist
Michał Muciek
Polish underwater photographer, diver, and Master of Nursing. My work focuses on the meeting point between water, movement, emotion, and the human body. I specialize in underwater portraiture, mermaiding, freediving, and creative diving photography, combining technical underwater experience with a sensitive, human-centered approach to image making. For several years, I have been closely connected with the mermaiding community in Poland, photographing divers, freedivers, mermaids, and performers in environments where safety, trust, and visual storytelling are equally important. My medical background strongly influences the way I work underwater. It helps me understand breathing, stress, limits, and comfort — elements that are essential when creating images beneath the surface. In my photography, I often explore silence, transformation, fragility, and freedom underwater. I am drawn to the magical and theatrical character of this world, but also to its honesty and vulnerability. I contribute to Perfect Diver magazine, I am a DivePRO ambassador in Poland, and my work has been recognized in Polish photography competitions.
