As a relatively unknown artist it is hard to find much to any information on photographer Magda Adamczak. At time of writing she currently has 2,232 followers on Instagram where she posts her photography multiple times a day. her work often features her family, specifically her young children and consists of candid photos. The photos are very raw and look barely editied and offer an insight into Adamczak’s idyllic family life. In 2019 her work was featured in a spread by National Geographic, focusing on the topic “Explore authentic food cultures around the world” https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/your-shot-photos-food-culture-around-world The piece, submitted through National Geographic’s amateur photographers program YOUR SHOT, featured her children eating together at a dinner table. The image description reads “A simple lunch brings generations together. Adamczak writes that she stayed in this vacation house as a child; now her own children visit to eat apples collected from the trees outside.”
The photo, taken from National Geographic magazine features Adamczak and her young children eating dinner at the table. Some of the children look up at the camera in feels very natural and candid despite the children looking into the camera inquisitively while others carry on with their meals in peace. The photo has an almost dirty feeling due to the rawness of the photo, lack of editing and nostalgically evocative setting. The placing of the crockery on the very rectangular table works to create sharp lines that direct to each character in the photo.
