Menace – conceptual fine art photography 2024 -2025.
Menace is my eight series in Urban Absurd convention. This is a set of photographs, that took me to ZPAF – Association of Polish Art Photographers in 2025. In this conceptual fine art photography series, main model is my son Maks in a role of menace boy. In one way this series is very personal for me, because I tried to capture a real nature of my son, who is a very vivid and playfull boy. On the other hand these photographs are very universal because they touch the essence of childchood. What does it mean to be a menace? Who decides that some child is considered to be a menace? Maybe it is only us adults seeing it that way? Maybe it is only us adults that try to make children fit in to some certain roles that society created for them? We grownups and parents especially want our kids to be just like us, have the same hobby, jobs and careers just like us, but kids are just kids. They want to play, laugh and have fun. Besides children learn by making mistakes, so just let them be a menace from time to time…
