The Human Eye Behind the Digital Lens.

Every algorithm needs a director

“You have seen what we (the studio) can generate. Now meet the mind that prompts the reality. My transition from a traditional Director of Photography to an AI Creator wasn’t a change of career—it was a change of tools. The mandate remains the same: storytelling above all.”

Jacek Kadaj

the evolution of sight

I spent 30 years chasing the perfect light with a camera. Now, I create it with code.

1988

Kieślowski Film School & The Art of Seeing

Trained at the prestigious Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School in Katowice. Here, I learned that technology is just a tool—storytelling is the essence. My foundation is built on traditional cinematic composition, color theory, and narrative structure.

1992 - 2023

Mastering the Analog Lens.

Over three decades as a freelance Director of Photography (DOP). I’ve worked on countless sets, mastering light and shadow in the real world. I understand how a lens breathes and how actors move—knowledge that algorithms alone cannot teach.

2023

From Cinematographer to AI Director

Two years ago, I traded the physical camera for generative tools. Founding a1gen01 studio, I now combine 30 years of cinematic discipline with the infinite possibilities of AI. I am no longer limited by budget or physics.

2025

THE BREAKTHROUGH

With over a dozen international accolades received in a single year, 2025 became our defining moment. It was a year of validation and expansion.

Building on this success, a1gen01 studio has officially entered the feature film market, with several full-length projects currently in active development.
