Jan Antoni Litwin was born in Brzeg in 1956. After graduating with a degree in economics and completing his military service, he worked at Zakłady Elektrotechniki Motoryzacyjnej (a plant manufacturing electrical equipment for the automotive industry) in Ełk, and later as an English teacher. He bought a Soviet-made LOMO 215 camera from a photo store after the birth of his first son. Some shots were taken by Jan’s wife, Laura Litwin.
