We live in an image-obsessed world, and we must decide for ourselves if what we share is worth it, says Tadas Kazakevicius, a Lithuania-based documentary and portrait photographer. At the same time, it’s wonderful that we have all the tools at our fingertips to tell stories from the best angles. Tadas is always returning to the same root themes, that have a lot to do with being human. He believes images need accompanying words, but that a good photographer can convey feelings through his work.
Tadas is eager to visit Romania and is especially curious about its rural side. He will be showing his work at Bucharest Photofest (October 6-15, 2023). At its 8th edition, the festival will host over 50 events under the theme IDENTITY. Join artists from Greece, Germany, Iceland, Spain, the UK, the USA, Denmark, The Netherlands and more for a meaningful visual journey.

I came into photography very typically, but I fell in love with it when I got my first medium-format camera. Suddenly, I was drawn to tell stories of the people I met. I felt the need to tell it in images and text. Seems that it’s still I do the things now. Wider and deeper, still, it unlocked the doors.
