In contrast to the spontaneous nature of photography, Pawel Żak claims that his images are 'fabricated'. This Polish artist constructs minimalist stagings with a great economy of means, where the action takes place without a character, but where man remains the main subject. Pawel Żak defines himself as "a visual artist who uses photography". This distinction is reflected in his creative process, which is more concerned with producing 'inner images'…

"- Do you want a souvenir?” At the beginning of the 20th century, to have a portrait of oneself became accessible. The “photo card” met this expectation. Traveling photographers did go out to meet their clients at their places of residence or work or stationed themselves in busy areas such as crossroads, tourist places, resorts, spas or means of transport. They also benefited from exceptional events such as religious celebrations,…

In perspective A shared escape into photographic infinity lies at the heart of this series, which takes in a variety of places and landscapes.
In the limelight Since I began photographing professionally (in 1987), the nude has always been one of my favorite subjects, along with portraiture and fashion. Today, however, I'm forced to admit that for many years now, it has become increasingly difficult to exhibit nudes, whether in galleries or on social networks. Without going into sociology, it's obvious that various reasons are behind the return of this form of prudery, which…
Bardenas Reales Desert of the "Bardenas Reales", I took these photos in autumn 2023 and was lucky enough to benefit from incredible light. I propose a journey into the light, which when it wants to, knows how to accompany the photographer's curious gaze.

Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water." T.S. Eliot, ‘The Waste Land’ Earth warming is speeding up, climate changes have…

Day and night, from Roman remains to photographic exhibitions, the streets of Arles are transformed into real open-air galleries. Through these photos I invite you to smell and feel the city.
