Michel Szulc-Krzyzanowski was born in Oosterhout, a small town in the South of the Netherlands in 1949 with a Polish father and a Dutch/Belgium mother. First he studied during one year photography at the Academie St. Joost in Breda, the Netherlands. In 1970, after 18 months, he graduated in photography and free graphic art at the Koninklijke Akademie voor Kunst en Vormgeving in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. After the graduation he started working as an autonomous, conceptual photographer.
The photography of Michel Szulc Krzyzanowski can be divided in two sections. On the one hand he makes autonomous-conceptual photography on deserted beaches in Mexico. This work is exhibited in museums and galleries and purchased for art-collections. On the other hand he makes worldwide autonomous-conceptual documentary photography that is published in books, magazines and newspapers but also presented as exhibitions.
