Michal Luczak – Documentalist concentrating on close-by, intimate and often seemingly stories. His pictures emerge, as it were, on the margin of personal meetings. He works in Warsaw, lives in Katowice, and often draws on his Silesian roots. In 2010, together with Anka Sielska and Krzysztof Szewczyk he founded the Kultura Obrazu Foundation whose goal is to present documentary photography in Silesia. He became a member of the Sputnik Photos collective that same year. He is a graduate in photography from the Institute of Creative Photography in Opava (Czech Rep.) and Iberian Studies at the University of Silesia.
