Portrait and landscape photographer from Poland, Freddie Addery, creates attention-gripping, commanding visuals that combine the softness of a subject with the imperviousness of the form.
There is a confrontational quality to his style of portraiture. Subjects are not shying away from the camera; the light is bright and the colors are vivid. Even when the artist chooses monochrome, it does not take away from the boldness.
Addery’s dramatic photography oozes youthfulness. His analog captures depict candid portraits against both natural and urban backdrops, hinting at the fleeting moments that define what we refer to as youth.
The emerging artist experiments with elements of conceptual and editorial photography to preserve an enigmatic quality, aiming to “create a mysterious atmosphere” while capturing the light in his friends’ eyes—and at times, his own—using the lens as a mirror to freeze emotion in time.

RAWGUE.’s 4th issue delved into the grey, moody, and cold atmosphere of winter. Yet it did not sink into the depths of madness or depression. Instead, it embraced this season of hibernation, allowing 31 artists from all over the world to present their timid work beneath a veil of quiet beauty.
We’re a team of writers using our craft to spotlight art in its most honest form. RAWGUE. started as a bi-monthly editorial experiment where each issue’s theme is dictated by the submitted work, thus removing editorial bias from the equation and preserving a more raw approach. We focus on all forms of poetry: written, photographed, painted, drawn, and filmed.
