You might have already heard of Thomasz Gudzowaty, a photographer from Warsow (1971). He has won 2nd prize again this year in the World Press Sports stories awards for his essay ‘Mexico’s Car Frenzy.’ And it’s already the eighth time that he wins a World Press Award!
He has the talent to transform sports images into social documentary essays. Using traditional black and white his images tell the stories of people in love with their sports. Not celebrity soccer or basketball players but non-famous everyday people engaged in atypical, intriguing sometimes mystical sports. Through his work and the proximity he creates with his subjects he draws strong portraits of modern heroes devoted to their arts: hard work, sweat, strength, willpower, self-control, passion. It’s a lesson of life to learn from these people from around the world.
It’s also a lesson of Fine Art Photography. The Art of creating amazing elegant sport images, the Art of telling stories of our times in black and white, the Art of sharing emotions by capturing moments of life.
