We all had to face a lot of changes and challenges in 2020. The year started and gradually, we were all forced to stay at home. We had to change our habits to cope with a lockdown.
I live in a block of flats. I spent my time looking through the window where I can see beautiful nature; it was very calming for me. But I also saw lots of other blocks of flats there. Looking at them every day, I started to see them differently. I enjoyed how the sun and light changed at different times of the day.
Eventually, I started to miss taking pictures. Being a portrait photographer, it became impossible to work for me. I started to take pictures of what I saw. Project CLOSE shows my view on the pandemic. We all became closer within our hearts, we all worked together as humanity to survive the pandemic as well as possible.
You will find elements of repetition in the projects. For me, it was a tool to express my feelings, situation, and fear.

About Michal Zahornacky
Michal Zahornacky is professional fine art photographer from Slovakia. The main role in his photography plays the human. He mainly focuses on fine-art and conceptual portraits. He brings thoughts and moods to his photographs which he always shows in unclear imagination.
In his newest series Curves, he displays other, original look of portraits. It goes beyond the classical beauty and prefers an abstract image of the photographed man. He tries to distort the perfect symmetry of the shape so that the final portrait looks at first as an abstract painting. Curvature of the image is achieved by using physical properties of clear water. The water in motion creates irregular curves of the object.
