Getting to Know Rafal

Rafal is a self-taught photographer working in Poland. Though he never had any teachers, he does find inspiration in avant-garde filmmakers David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch. There is an eerie, surrealist quality in Rafal’s artwork that speaks to these influences. He is not shy to admit that he dislikes anything contrived or “glittery” when it comes to photography. “I despise studio photographs, which I tend to associate with product photography or fashion photography,” he says. Rafal instead strives to shoot images that isolate specific human emotions, such as solitude and fear.

Rafal, beautifully structured photo. I look forward to seeing (and buying) more of your creations.

Dear Bruce Valley, I am very pleased that my photo has invoked your memories and stirred your imagination - sometimes, I experience a similar thing - with scents; some vague scent can take me for a split second to the past and I do not always feel like coming back.

As a small child remember sitting on an uncle's lap outside on the porch watching a horrendous thunder storm. Never afraid after that. For the rest of my life just seemed to run toward the storm not away from it literally and figuratively. Your photo serves as a reminder of that characteristic. Excellent....love it.
