It is said that a photographer should always have a camera with him, but in reality is this always the case, has it always been so? Is it only the professional photojournalist on his shoulder who inseparably carries a bag in which he carries a tool for capturing images of life? A full-time photographer can often enter where an ordinary Kowalski can no longer, but even in this case....

"White and Red" is a long-term social project of documentary filmmaker Marek Lapis, who uses the medium of photography to describe how the colors white and red function in the consciousness of society. In times of transformation and turbulent contemporary social and political changes, these colors take on special significance in public space. The photos that make up the publication "White and Red" come from about 200 trips throughout...
On the memorable January 8, 1959, Fidel triumphantly entered Havana. He had won his "revolutión." I didn't get to talk to him the first time, but I did manage to exchange a few words with Raul Castro, Fidel's brother. Raul told me that in the city of Camaguey they would be trying and dismembering counter-revolutionaries and would I be willing to witness these events? Very politely...
I learned about Ali's photographs from international news outlets. The photographs of this young (born 1999) Syrian photographer became the subject of an international scandal by a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman named Zhao Lijian. The Chinese official used Ali's photos depicting a Syrian boy playing with an artillery shell as "proof" of the misery the United States has brought to Afghan (sic!) children.Ali Haj Suleiman, IdlibThe problem...
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,...
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...
There are few personalities among contemporary photographers as popular, influential and respected (and as often criticized) as Martin Parr. This is not only because of his numerous works, which have played and continue to play a major role in the development of both British and international documentary photography, influencing countless photographers around the world, but also because of his other...
Many Polish photographers after World War II until now have been trying to tackle one of the most difficult subjects of Polish reality - Silesia. How to present its synthetic vision, and above all the people and their problems, as well as the degraded environment and architecture?Such an attempt was also made by Jerzy Wierzbicki, who had already faced the subject of...
