these are photos are from my daily life,
my town,
my city,
this is my lifestyle.
all of them are spontaneous shots,
just because i like the pleasure of watching people,
capturing their pain with the lens,
their happiness,
nostalgia,
hope,
i like to feel empathy with my people, who suffocate in a gray reality, but always, always find a minute to smile

Jakub Sliwa

Jakub Sliwa is a member of Panopticum Studio, who are based in Cracow, Poland, and specialise in photography documenting conservation of architecture, archaeological excavations and museum exhibits. On his website you'll find many fine examples of his work from around the world.

The project we're featuring in Revolver is a big diversion from his usual subject in the sense that's it's much more private and intimate. However, it's part of documentary photographer's job to show sensitivity to otherwise neglected issues.

Zoltan Vancso

It's definitely strange when a photo or any other visual piece of art tries to tell a story.Every picture is a methaphor so it's closer to lyrics than to prose. Still, the meaning of a picture is less clear. But that's how pictures are able to express feelings and moods of the artist.

Zoltán Vancsó's photos show us scenes with special meanings, scenes of which we should make up our own stories.They show us scenes from the everyday lives of everyday people. There's no kind of direction , there's only the pure visual composition. This artistic kind of considering simple things puts reality into a mystical dimension and creates new relations between things that were not in relation at all. Accidental and simple events get special meanings through his photos but these meanings are not absolutely clear. They're rather complicated and abundant. There are improbable landscapes with strange, incomprehensible things happening. But this kind of landscapes are inside of all of us. We just have to take a look at what's inside of us. All of us.
