Its not easy to write, why?

...on one side he is a photographer and on the other everything else he's succeded in. I have known Jacek about 20 years.

I was a professor in one of two existing  80’s Universities of Photography. At the entrance exam a young man shows up presenting extreme knowledge and advanced work for his age. Everyone wished to work with someone like him and I was the lucky one! He quit studying law and the arguing began with me, never accepting my views which lead to countless and long conversations about photography, art and life. This is the time when Bonecki defines himself in photography – he is independent and absolute. He is never happy with his work always looking for perfection. By then, he comes to a conclusion that looking for perfection is fascinating but perfection is hard work and making the right choices. Here is where the photography art began. It is a pleasure to see how Jacek works. He is like a cat patiently waiting for prey, waiting for a moment and light in a form that only he sees. Depending on the subject he changes his approach. If it’s a car he photographs, as a automotive expert, he prepares himself knowing the latest trends and designs. When he photographs races he is a professional driver who predicts what will happen next. Jacek like no one else can present the car and the driver as a symbiosis of human perfection and technics. Many times automotive pictures are like poems. We read a phrase, we feel it and delight it before we go back to the poem and we read more... we can do it for hours.
Portraits taken by Jacek are patience of an impatient and fast world. Waiting for a moment- but the moment ealier thought out, the moment which is perfectly matching a photographed person. It does not matter what part of the world Bonecki is taking pictures in, it does not matter where protagonist comes from, in his pictures the greatest humanism is unveiled. For me,it is like time traveling to far pass where humanity was born. It's all about respect for each other.
A big part of Bonecki’s art work is an act. From my point of view it’s a difficult area, some could even say an exhausting topic. His acts are like something just discovered and fascinating. After my pre World War II acts fascination like work of Dritkola or Edward Westona – very formal, content less and a degraded human body. Wetson's work in moments lacked an entity of gender. I thought that it would be very hard for me to find something interesting in modern act. Luckily everything is possible after seeing Jacek’s acts. Through centuries acts were unique inspiration for talented artists. His ideas are not to follow trends – they are independent like everything about him. Often they are ahead of the traditional interpretation of a naked body.
Thank you Jacek for the beauty of your photography.
