The art of portraiture is among the principal strands of contemporary photography. It also plays a prominent role in work by Tomasz Gudzowaty, an artist who has made a name for himself as an internationally recognized photographer through numerous awards, publications, and exhibitions worldwide. This book is an attempt to reinterpret and integrate into a new context the images he has taken over many years. The result is an unabashedly varied and consistent piece of work - a collection of artfully composed images, singling out individual personalities and groups who reveal their inner self through gazes and postures in the brief and unique moment they spend in front of a camera, and, by this, allowing the man on the other side of the lenses to tell his story as well. As Maja Kaszkur, the editor, puts it in her foreword, "The macro-world around us has its reproduction in our micro-world, and vice versa - something very tiny and almost unnoticeable can reveal the scale of something much bigger but not previously understood. Non-stop, over and over again, we need to keep fixing our gaze on the world, and on ourselves."
