Maciek Pozoga is one of those artists that can't be put into a box. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to define him or his work at all. Is he a documentary photographer? An art photographer? A fashion photographer? He continually juggles between all three titles, as his website explains, developing a style that's a unique combination of all three. The photographs come across as authentic, in documentary-style fashion, yet there's a stylized beauty in them.
His diverse style has caught the eye of several big time brands and publications. His resume includes commissions from the likes of The New York Times, Nike and Kenzo.
Each of Pozoga's images are incredibly powerful; they are honest, humorous and capture something unique about the human experience.
