Beautiful people. NPG Glamour Factory, October 2011, London

Every day in the underground I'm passing by a poster of NPG "Beatles to Bowie" exhibition with a portrait of young David Bowie by David Wedgbury on it. This picture really makes my day. It's outstandingly beautiful in its simplicity and power. It is a true photographic piece of work - caught moment in history, expression, light. I'm a believer that this is what photography should be, this is what a photographer should do - reflect this world in it's beauty and ugliness first of all. There is nothing we should invent - the world is beautiful enough, probably even more than we are able to see.

I think that great photographers in general can see a bit more than anyone else. This is what is called "photographers eye" - to see and be able to show something the way people can not see or express it. There is so much more in our heads than one can express in words and, more difficult, visually. When a picture can say something, say more than one can express and see - this is a true work of art, this is what I love in photography. Considering that there are too many bad photographs nowadays, which do not have visual impact, or, more often, have nothing to say.

I need to admit, that I'm talking now about real photography, not digitalised works - which are forms of art, but actually not true photography I believe.

So, yes, that picture makes my day and reminds me what I really-really want to achieve.
