Adam Bujak je polský umělecký fotograf, který se stal známým především jako fotograf papeže Jana Pavla II. Jeho dílo však přesahuje portrétování jednoho muže; je také neúnavným dokumentaristou polské historie, tradic, zvyků a architektury. Bujak vyniká v zachycování duchovních a náboženských rituálů křesťanství i jiných vyznání, přičemž se zaměřuje na emoce účastníků a prchavé okamžiky lidského života. Jeho jedinečná schopnost a skromnost mu otevírají dveře do pro většinu lidí nepřístupných míst, jako jsou kláštery a uzavřené komunity, kde prostřednictvím své kamery uchovává jejich atmosféru.
