Biografia
Szymon Barylski (born in 1984) Is a polish freelance photographer based in Ireland focusing on social, and human rights issues. Photography is my passion, which I continually develop. I am involved in documentary photography and photo essays. For me, photographing is a tool for exploring and learning about the world. I try to tell a story and show it directly. In my opinion, people are an inexhaustible topic and a source of inspiration. When traveling, I meet people; as a result, I create the image of my relation with them. The exploration of the environment where I take photos allows me to create emotional and convincing scenes. I think you cannot photograph the things you do not know well. That is why I prepare myself for each project individually, accurately, going into detail in the newspapers and on the Internet. Next, I look for an inspiration in other photographers' photos and conversations, as a result I can create real pictures. My own narrative presented in my photos is at the same time very personal and common. I think that a lot of people can identify themselves with my works.
I wish my photos could increase individual and collective awareness about the social, political and economic need and urge people to act, be part of positive changes.
