Leonard Sempoliński was born in 1902 in Warsaw. He was one of the most outstanding Polish photographers, a painter and author of texts on photography, close to Bulgak's concept of "native photography." He modestly used to say about his photographic art: "I only make documents." He recorded reality, his immediate surroundings, as objectively as possible. As a street photographer, he systematically embarked on many hours of trips with his camera to the city. His work is compared to that of the famous French photographer Eugene Atget.
