My parents in their garden while I appear as a reflection, held in my mother's hand.
Realizing at 46 that I lacked a proper image of my parents (both 78), creating this long-overdue photo became a priority. The reflection is my way of being present despite distance – simultaneously the photographer and a son in one frame. Presented in black and white to echo classic portraiture, the image reflects the strength and connection of family across time and distance.

Piotr Skubisz is a photographer with a passion for portrait and body photography. Explores themes of self-discovery and cultural identity. Drawing inspiration from studies at The Film School in Lodz and Polish Studies at the University of Warsaw, where he developed an interest in cultural anthropology, his images blend aesthetics with reflection. Recognized for his work, was shortlisted at the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards 2025. Received a Gold and Bronze medal at the PX3 2024 and an official selection in the IPA.
Based in Warsaw but enjoys traveling, eager to explore new horizons.
