Summary/Abstract: Giera³towski said that he was not interested in psychology, but, rather, he wanted to reveal the truth about his subjects. His recent exhibitions were entitled ‘In Giera³towski’s Eyes’. He concentrates on the portraits of people who can become his partners in his effort to produce artistic spectacle. He considers incidental effects as very important elements in his work. He believes that light contributes to dramatization of pictures. His pictures include important information on his subjects. His portraits of musicians, writers, scientists and artists reveal the truth about their profession, their lives and characters. He says that people shown in his photographs speak through their images. The conversation between the photographer and his models is the result of a lengthy process of communication and studying different conditions, which form proper atmosphere.
