Andrzej Dragan's remarkable photographic portraits focus on well known public figures who died long before they became old.

The movie siren, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Lee and Adolf Hitler are shown here in all their wrinkled glory.
Dragan is amazingly gifted in several diverse fields and has won many, many awards. Here is just a sampling. He holds a PhD in quantum physics and is currently an assistant professor of physics at Warsaw University. He has also won many music composition awards. He started getting involved with photography in 2003 and has since published his work in magazines and books in 12 countries including the Lazer's "200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide" in 2006.
