I think the way I like to work and could say is my ‘process’ is photographing what attracts me and after a few weeks, laying all the photographs out and figure out what they are saying to me. I am very sentimental about it, because I didn’t know yet that I want to be a photographer and I just took pictures of my friends and lovers, it was a natural way of just expressing my feelings for those around me.Īfter two years I decided to go back to photography school and finish my education there. This was one of my first photography projects. Can you tell me more about your process and the project (in detail)?
Your work and especially the project ‘Between Us’ has an intimate queerness. He is wearing a denim jacket with his right arm propping up his head.

The man laying down is wearing boxing gloves with the union jack on them. Between Us by Krystian Lipiec ID: A Man whose face is obscured by another man leaning over the bed and kissing him. Surrounded by a huge forest, I love to walk there and take in the silence and nature, especially in the early morning. The place which you could say has influenced me the most is my mothers house, tucked away in a small village. Due to travelling between locations I’m always learning something new about myself and those around me. Those two different locations influence me as a photographer. Where are you based and how important has your location been in influencing your work? However, I also love the long process photography allows you to embody to make long term photo projects. That’s the short version of the story, but I love photography due to being able to make a very quick expression of how you feel in a moment. The passion that he showed for his craft brushed off on me, being an impressionable 17 year old I wanted to be like him and started taking my own photographs.
I was 17 at the time and he was a photographer. I started taking pictures after I met a guy online who I slowly began to fall in love with. Hey Krystian, first off I’m always interested in hearing what drew people to photography. But what do these complex and ever changing romantic relationships looks like when you put a camera to them? We recently spoke with Krystian Lipiec about his unique approach to documenting lovers, friends and everything in between. It’s a minefield of emotions, actions and people.
