About the author

Adam Bujak is a Polish artist photographer. He has been a recipient of numerous awards and honours, such as the Order of St. Mary Magdalene, the Grand Order of St. Zygmunt, "Totus 2003" - a prize of Fundacja Dzieło Nowego Tysiąclecia (Work of the New Millennium Foundation). In 2013 he was awarded a gold medal of John Paul II and in 2005, by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the Silver Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis. His achievements include 300 albums, posters and calendars. He became famous as Pope John Paul II's photographer but also as a tireless documentarian of Polish history, tradition, customs and architecture. He is absolutely unique and outstanding in the way he portrays and preserves both Christian and other religions' rituals. Not only do his photographs show events, but first and foremost they focus on participant' emotions. Adam Bujak is endowed with a genuine gift for capturing the most transitory moments of human life. Owing to his talent, but more importantly his personality and modesty, places inaccessible to most of us become open to him and his camera. They include Polish contemplative monastery of the Camaldolese monks and convents of the Norbertine and the Carmelite nuns, Orthodox Rus or closed and mistrustful community of the Romani.
