Photographer Dawid Stanczak (Poland)
Can you tell us a little about you? Hi! My name is
Dawid. I'm from Poland. I'm 26 years old. I also work
on a hard coal mine every day. Photography is my ex-
tra work and a huge passion. Moreover I like to ride a
bicycle and spend time with my friends.
How and when did you get into photography? I've
been taking photos for two years. The decision was
quite spontaneous, I sold the car and bought the
equipment. I did not regret it for a moment.
What does photography mean to you? I guess it
even means more from the movie. It lets you captu-
re what I see in a way planned by me, often even
bending reality. It is a way to remember the moment,
a timeless memory.
Please briefly describe your photography style for
our readers. I mainly do portraits. In the pictures I
try to reach a compromise between the naturalness
of the person and the creation of a specific climate
in the picture. I do not conceal that I am retouching
my pictures, as you can see, but I think that it adds
to their individual character.
Where do you get inspiration from? Just when I
look at someone I have to see him in my picture,
just this.
Do you think in advance what you want in the
picture? Usually yes. I do not like taking pictures
without a purpose. When I'm doing a session, I
know what end result I want to get.
