The book "Photographer's Profession" is not only a collection of photos, but above all a story about a man who, with passion and commitment, documented groundbreaking moments in Polish history. Chris Niedenthal, a British photographer of Polish origin, came to Poland in 1973 and witnessed and reported firsthand on events behind the Iron Curtain. His photos published in "Newsweek", "Time" and "Spiegel" became icons of those times, and he himself gained recognition as one of the most important photojournalists of his generation.

The book includes not only well-known and appreciated photos, but also many new, previously unpublished shots that enrich the image of those times and allow us to better understand the emotions and moods prevailing in society. The authors, Małgorzata Kuśnierz and Anna Pol, made sure that the book was not only a visual feast, but also a captivating read full of anecdotes and curiosities from the photographer's life.

It is an autobiography that combines professional distance with deep affection for the country and the people he photographed. Chris Niedenthal does not avoid difficult topics, but does so with English sarcasm and a touch of Polish nostalgia, which makes the book not only informative, but also full of humor and warmth. It is a must-read for all lovers of photography, history and Polish culture.

The new edition of the 2012 bestseller has been expanded with texts reaching modern times and enriched with dozens of new, previously unpublished photographs. An honest, cheeky, witty, but also affectionate book about the country and the people he met and whom he - in return - loved. An ideal gift for anyone who appreciates good photography and interesting reading.
