PHOS project (Photography of Society) was initiated by docu- mentary photographers who are recording different situations of life for a long time.

The project is counterweight of contemporary banalisation of photography which eliminates humanism from the social as- pect of society.

Therefore PHOS stands for the Bresson´s "decisive mo- ment" because classic form of the document is the most viable way and concept how to express our views on social issues of the society.
