He began as a still photographer for a Polish film studio, and served his compulsory conscription in the Polish army as a film cameraman, shooting army exercises that were organized for people like Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev and Romanian president Nicolae Ceausescu. He described the shots as good training and like that out of Apocalypse Now.[1] He worked for a while as a television documentary cameraman.
