Through its projects raises interest in human nature, especially women. He wants to capture and define femininity. Looking for interesting and intriguing imaging methods, trying to approach in an innovative way, not only to photography as a medium, but also presented their topics.[Official Website]

Carpe Diem

Carpe diem is a series of seven triptychs, depicting a week in the life of a man. Every day he meets a new woman. The project is an attempt to expose a specific relationship between a man and woman. The author gives no hints or makes suggestions, leaving the viewer to interpret the images in their own way. The piece brings into light the character’s personality, which adds depth to these seemingly superficial relationships.

They Where

They Were project in its form comes down to a Man-Ray like imaging of reality with negatives on which the author hand-painted signs and figures, symbolizing the nature of the person shown in the picture. The starting point was numerology, hidden symbols, that, avoiding literality, were to tell something about the person.

They Were – 15 photographs, each of which tells
a story about a different woman. These graphic images, hand-painted by their author, attract and intrigue the viewer, making them analyse the complex ‘patterns’ of personalities. Borys Makary does not tell the viewers everything, letting them read and interpret his works freely and independently.

The project was presented at the Nue 1. exhibition by the Parisian NUE gallery. It has won first place in the Fine Art – Nude category at the Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3) contest.
