Biography: The human body plays a significant role in my photography. However, nudity in my work serves merely as a backdrop for the symbols and props that construct meaning. ---------- I am interested in themes such as bodily discomfort, tense relationships with the environment, memory and recollection, the search for anonymity, loneliness, and alienation. ---------- I primarily work with monochromatic analogue techniques — medium format film and wet plate collodion. ---------- Portfolio: akki.pl ---------- Instagram: akki_monochrome
