Kuba Tom. was born in Poland. He studied architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London and afterwards worked for renown companies such as Herzog & de Meuron and Behnisch Architekten in the US, Germany and Switzerland.

Photography has been an important medium throughout his architectural education as a mean of expression of what cannot be described with words or drawn with lines.

My fascination with photography always focused on people and their stories. I started as a street photographer capturing emotions inscribed in faces around the world during my travels. The transition from reportage to experimental studio photography happened recently. The environment that is controlled allows me to take more experimental measures in my creative process. Somehow, within hours I build intimate relationships that bring comfort and confidence to the subject. The transformations always amaze me. We usually depart from a grey reality to soon arrive in some fairyland that nobody expects to appear. The people who I photograph somehow turn into performers. They dance or move like never; they interact with music and space. Somehow, I provide freedom for their expression. How and why? I cannot explain. It is however a privilege to capture those unique moments.

Kuba’s work was exhibited at galleries in Poland and Switzerland.
