The book&rsquo;s second chapter, entitled &ldquo;Daguerreotypes,&rdquo; consists of a series of photographic descriptions — vivid, still images that Kapuściński constructs from memory, imagination, and journalistic observation.</p> <p>The scholarly article by Izabela Koczkodaj examines the photographic motifs running through <em>Shah of Shahs</em> as a structural and semantic device. Photography is not merely a metaphor here: Kapuściński physically browses through photographs while writing, and these photographs — their faces, gestures, and frozen moments — become the organising principle of his narrative.</p>
