By photographing them, she tells a personal story about the extraordinary inhabitants, their happiness and sorrows, traditions and rituals, work and daily life...a rich and beautiful culture in danger of disappearing.Traveling to many hardship- and poverty-stricken regions, Natela Grigalashvili has been documenting isolated communities and ethnic minorities - Georgia's last nomads - for years....
Amadeus Spruce Cottage
Long-term documentary projects are not an overly common choice among photographers today. There are several reasons for this.The media lives on fast news, an overwhelming number of photos are published on mass social media - where they also capture the attention of viewers for only a fraction of the time. Many modern photographers seduced by the technical ease of recording digital photographs succumb to mass trends, publishing easily digestible images online,...

Traces of ancient Oman by Jerzy Wierzbicki
Jerzy Wierzbicki's photographs of Oman in recent years both have something in common with and differ from his earlier works. In such series of works as "Gdańsk - Suburbia" (1995-2004) and "Post-Industrial Silesia" (2001-2006), he dealt with places that have suffered from the economic crisis.His attention was drawn to the devastated architecture and general temporariness of...
Michael Konrad - a self-portrait of thought
If I had to answer the question of what photography is, I would answer that creating an image, the basis of which is independent thinking. If someone were to ask me what life is about, I would answer similarly - that life is about independent thinking every minute of it. For several years I have been making self-portraits, my figure has become an indispensable part of my photographs, using...
Descending into the depths of the body - photography by Larys Lubovitsky
"Do you see these humps, these hills on the left side? That's the pleuritis your cousin had in his fifteenth year. [...] Do you see these caverns here? That's where the venoms that intoxicate him come from. "1Experiments in recording microscopic images date back to the early history of photography. Among the many inventors attempting to photograph the fascinating microstructures of the world (they include...
Ray Cook
The cover of a recently released publication dedicated to Ray Cook depicts him as a juggling clown surrounded by celebrities. This performer is magnificent, clever and talented. He brings to my mind the theater of the absurd, which is still not out of date. Indeed, in his references to homoerotic fantasy, the artist is reminiscent of writer Jean Genet.Nevertheless, with works dating from the 1990s and the first...
Alain Balmayer - America secondhand
The United States of America is - in addition to everything else - also the realm of photography. As early as 1888, Georges Eastman launched a camera capable of taking 100 photographs. From that moment, photography began its massive career as a national hobby, and on this basis Kodak company built its empire.To be fair, it must be added that at the same time Americans...
Apocalypse according to Christopher Miller
Polish photography chronically suffers from a lack of figures, if not legendary, then at least of great stature. One of the few shrouded in an aura of contemporary authority is Krzysztof Miller.Born in 1962, Miller, like many of his contemporaries, not only participated in the events of martial law, but also actively began to convulse the decline of communist Poland with photography. In the second half of the 1980s, he approached the circle of...
