Adam Bujak is a photographer. He was born on 12th May, 1942, in Kraków, where he still lives and works. Bujak has been a member of the Association of Polish Photographic Artists since 1967, and the Royal Photographic Society in London since 1970. He also belongs to the International Federation of Photographic Art in Switzerland. Adam Bujak is the author of albums dedicated to Polish architecture and history. The photographs published in these albums are patriotic in character and made to evoke an emotional reaction. Adam Bujak’s pictures are not devoid of pathos. He presents religious events in a way which emphasises their importance. In order to facilitate understanding of the content, he usually offers a universal message by showing typical reactions, poses or behaviour. In his photographs depicting landscapes and monuments he stays true to the concept of ‘homeland photography’ (‘forografia ojczysta’) defined by Jan Bułhak in the 1930s. The choice of topic, as well as the lighting and framing of the images, determine their picturesque nature. Their main aim is to promote patriotic values by showing the aesthetic qualities of the country’s cultural and natural heritage.
