Jakub Karol Kowalski

Jakub Karol Kowalski (born in 1997) is a self-taught pseudo-photographer based in Warsaw. His work focuses on people (mainly because it is one of the most available and cheapest subjects) – including, but not limited to: sad people, smoking people, dancing people, not really people, walking people, working people and shadow people. Jakub's achievements includes: • Being published on 4chan by anon in "nice pictures" thread • 1st place in Young Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2018 - Mono Magic • Being commended in 2017 Sony World Photography Awards • Several publications, on russian websites, using his photography without his consent. In his free time Jakub likes to: not to write about himself in third person, drink absinthe, smoke self-rolled tobacco cigarettes, perform magic tricks and pretend to be XIX or early XX century dandy-type bohemian artist. Jakub currently studies Chemical and Process Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology, as if it had anything to do with photography, or absinthe, or magic.
