Synopsis

The documentary movie „The Grandfather" is a story about a polish artist and photographer, Henryk Rogozinski, whose adventure with photography began by accident. His first camera was made by his own hands. Using this prototype camera he developed his passion for photography. As a young boy he studied at a typography accademy, which gave him the knowledge about photosesitive materials, leading him to design his own complicated negative tooling process. Rogozinski launched a photography studio and a workshop for photography enthusiasts, and as a member of the Polish Artists' Photography Union, he left behind a massive franchise.
