Passionate and intimate, strong and sensual, Leo Maki’s shots open the door to a world where the human body is at the centre of everything. 
Leo Maki is a Polish photographer and videomaker who, at 26, has already developed a recognisable and precise style that he uses to tell and show his point of view on themes such as intimacy, the body and dreams.
The unique cut of his images, in which the focus is all on the subject, has led him to collaborate with different realities and to create covers for different magazines such as PNPPL magazine or HART Magazine. 

From the time he received his first camera at the age of 12 until today, a lot has changed for Leo Maki. If the first approach to photography was through those photographs that we all took at least once in our lives, perhaps of friends in everyday contexts, now the Warsaw photographer’s production astounds for its originality and impact. 

The protagonists of his shots are young men through whom Leo Maki rediscovers the beauty and expressive potential of the artistic nude. Everything revolves around the body, its forms and what it is capable of conveying to the viewer.
In addition, the exaggerated use of coloured lighting, which sometimes makes the shots almost monochromatic, creates even more powerful images. 

There is no shame or embarrassment and in a way Leo Maki’s photographs remind us that we need to rediscover and get used to the beauty and purity of the naked body, without judging.
