Rafal Milach was born in Gliwice, Poland in 1978. He is a photographer, visual artist, and author of multiple photo books.

His works have been exhibited in Poland and worldwide, and can be found in the collections of the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, the ING Polish Art Foundation, Kiyasato, the Museum of Photographic Arts in Japan, and the Brandts in Odense in Denmark.

In his photo book, The First March Of Gentlemen, he focuses on using bright backgrounds with objects and cut outs of archive images. He takes two sheets of coloured paper, one for the floor and one for the wall, and places them on a table against a wall. He then chooses an object and places it on the coloured paper, and takes images of it. During editing, he chooses archive images which feature people in black and white, cuts them out, and chooses places to put them around the objects to make the people look like they’re interacting with the objects.

In this image you are immediately drawn to the colours which have been chosen for this image. A dark green against a pinkish-purple with emerald green pyramids placed in the middle. There are cut-outs of people from images which seem to be from the archives, of two young boys and four soldiers. The boys seem to be possible hiding from the soliders from behind the pyramids.
