Mature bounds of childhood 

“Mature bounds of childhood” is a unique cycle telling about a girl changing into a woman. It is an intimate story about moments which everyone has experienced (or will experience) in a more or less similar way. Additionally, New Document design and focusing on universal subject, affected on this set to be a universal value no matter what is the group of photography customers.

Up till now the photos won a lot of prizes, were exhibited and got the highest grade from the Artist Council of the Polish Society of Art Photographers. “Mature bounds of childhood” published on paper allows people to review the photos anytime and eliminates the main disadvantage of exhibitions - ephemerality. I am sure that this publication will allow the expansion of the audience and help in promoting this unique set.
