This text is an attempt to analyze the works of a selection of contemporary artistic photographers (including Weronika Lodzinska, Reiko Imoto and Todda Hido) from the perspective of sociology and visual anthropology. The first is represented by the texts of Pierre Bourdieu as well as John Tagg, while the latter by Hans Belting and Gaston Bachelard. The authoress examines the photographic manner of picturing society and the cultural identity of the subjects - from the typical studio portrait through social projects (August Sander) to contemporary documentary photography in which the identity of the individual and their social position is shown without the presence of a model (Candida Höfer).
