Piotr Skubisz (born 1978, Poland) is an independent photographer with a passion for portrait and body photography. His work explores themes of self-discovery and cultural identity. Drawing inspiration from his studies at The Film School in Łódź and Polish Studies at the University of Warsaw, where he developed an interest in cultural anthropology, his images blend aesthetics with reflection.

His artistic philosophy is rooted in the constant exploration of the human being and the body – the primary means through which we communicate and perceive the world. Inspired by literature and philosophical concepts, he strives to uncover the mystery of the Other, finding unexpected connections and new perspectives.
