In my BA thesis, I discuss the medium of photography and the areas in which elements of the grotesque appear. In the theoretical part I defined the concept of grotesque and its origin. I made a brief historical outline of the presence of grotesque elements in connection with the beginnings of media development, and finally analyzed the presence of grotesque in different genres of photography. I analyzed the reference authors and studied the components they have in common, both in terms of content and technical legitimacy of the medium. In the practical part of the thesis, I dealt with classical photographic techniques in which, in addition to the motif itself, I focused on the manipulation of the medium with which I created a sense of the grotesque through the chosen medium.
