Photography by Rui Gui, 2024
Rogala's artistic practice is rooted in process and intuition, rather than treating photography as a tool for documentation, he approaches it as a means of engaging with experience. His work often involves direct interventions in the photographic image – through gesture, chance, and the physicality of the medium. Embracing unpredictability, he allows the process itself to shape the direction of his practice. Technical perfection holds little importance for him; instead, technique functions only insofar as it serves the idea. Having graduated from the Fine Arts High School in Radom, now studies at the National Film School in Łódź, where he continues to develop a practice that emerges from experiment, reflection, and an engagement with the materiality of photography, producing images that emphasize both process and presence.
Alongside his artistic practice, Benedykt works professionally in portrait, event, and documentary photography. He is also active in the theatre, where he contributes as a visual creator.
