The world is full of endless things. And there are many beautiful things. And people have a talent for not noticing it.

About

The meaning of the name "Photograph On Paper" is ambiguous.

On the one hand, it is an expression of the author's belief that photography is best experienced on paper.

On the other hand, a large part of the page is devoted to reflections on photography in the form of short articles or commentaries - hence the ‘on paper’ in reference to a newspaper or magazine.

The aim of the website is not only to present the work of photographer Demetrius Wenglarczyk, who is also the creator of this website, but also to write about photography as an art form.

Under SERIES you will find selected collections of photographs and photographic projects. In PHOTO DIGEST you can read about some of Demetrius' work in short, written form.

Author's statement:

Seeing the world through frames is the ability to notice things around you that others don't, or to ignore those that don't deserve attention. Anyway, it's not what you see or don't, it's how you react to it.

The above applies not only to photography nowadays.

About the photographer

Demetriusz is a Tricity-based polish photographer with a dreamy heart, a love for indie aesthetics and a nostalgia-filled visual perspective. Born in 1990, he grew up in the first years of Poland’s democratic transition, in an atmosphere of great change and hope for a better future. He was brought up in a world that felt still analogue and local, although rapidly changing into digital and global, which largely influenced his work and way of perceiving life.

Raised on a love of foreign films and music, but also in the sense of being constantly judged and undervalued, he took up photography in his late twenties, when he no longer felt the need to prove himself to others. Photography freed him from expectations and gave him back the initiative.

In 2024, his photographs were selected to be exhibited in Greece (Athens), Italy (Rome), the UK (London), and China (Chongqing). He publishes his works and writes about photography on the website photographonpaper.com. You can also find him online on Instagram: @withdemo
