Joanna "InvisibleMartyr" Jankowska, born in 1989, Wrocław, Poland. Photographer (occasionally ilustrator and graphic designer) madly in love with dark art.
In 2011 finished The Digital Media and CMC course in the Department of Journalism and Communication at University of Lower Silesia, defending the diploma of "Gothic trend in contemporary creative photography".
Currently studying at specialty Photography in multimedia.
A huge inspiration for her is all that dark and disturbing, especially music, poetry / literature and movies. She creates her own, intimate world, full of dreamy expressive portraits.
Creative, inventive, putting her soul and heart in what she loves the most and continuously developing her skills.
She works as a freelance photographer and she's occasionally an ilustrator of covers for horror/fantasy/romance books.
