MY NEW BOOK
MY NEW BOOK
After many weeks of preparation and fascinating work my new book entitled THE WORLD IS WHERE YOU STOP prepared by Blow Up Press, was created.
It was conceived as a symbolic summary of over 40 years of photographic work and coincides with a round birthday, which I am surprised to expect this year.
Photo books tend to be about a single subject, often representing a metaphorical window through which we look out at the world to see what it looks like.
This one, on the other hand, is rather a mirror reflecting my attitude towards civilization and human behavior, which I observed during my trip to over 60 countries. It is a personal reflection on the path we are following.
With the huge costs associated with the new prices of paper, energy, and therefore printing, I am asking you to buy this book in advance, which I hope will allow me to collect the necessary funds and send the book to print.

I greatly appreciate your kindness, generosity, and open heart.
Heartily,
Tomasz Tomaszewski

PREORDER! PREORDER! PREORDER!
“Master of the visual and intellectual elements of photography.”*
*Kent Kobersteen, former Senior Photo Editor of the National Geographic Magazine
Go on a journey around the world in search of human nature. The World Is Where You Stop is a critical look at our reality, where good and evil, euphoria and suffering, wealth and poverty, virtue and licentiousness, coexist side by side. For over 40 years of his career, Tomasz Tomaszewski, one of Poland’s most outstanding photographers, has recorded situations that are difficult to pass by indifferently.
Shocking juxtapositions of photos, like shots from mondo films and documentaries, make you reflect on the condition of contemporary man and the world he both lives in and creates. Sometimes the frames emanate the artist’s admiration for the beauty and power of nature, sometimes one can see his overwhelming fear or musings on our humanity.
150 black-and-white images do not explain how it happened that we ended up in a place like this. Instead, they ask questions about where our world is headed and what we can expect at the end of the road.
Built as a coherent, multi-threaded story, the book is a cross-sectional presentation of Tomasz Tomaszewski’s work and includes many pictures that have never been previously published.
