This article focuses on the development of photography and the constantly improving practices of surveillance culture. Photography is shown as a tool used by public agencies to ensure community security in all its variations. The discussion starts with Bruno Latour’s ideas about the impact of technology on society and culture. The construction of the camera is presented as an innovation in the advancement of the 19th-century police methods of investigation and a reference is made to a publication by visual culture researcher Jonathan Finn. The paper also explores the surveillance culture practices adopted by the Security Department of communist Poland. It studies How to Look Natural in Photos, a book that adopts the perspective of observers and voyeurs to depict the life of a community in photographs. The article refers to works by Michel Foucault and Dorota Sajewska and try to define what the album How to Look Natural in Photos is about and what material it actually presents.
