Photos of Darth Vader’s Rather Ordinary Daily Life
![]()
Photographer Paweł Kadysz of Bialystok, Poland, recently started a new 365-day photo project: a daily photo blog showing scenes from Darth Vader’s life. The clever and humorous photos portray the Sith Lord “as just a normal guy with everyday life problems.”
The project can be found at tookapic in an account named @dvader. The profile’s description: “Sith Lord. The Emperor. Born and raised on Tatooine. Loves to fly his TIE fighter. Took up photography lately. Releases the shutter using the Force. The dark one.”

The project is ongoing, with one new photo added each day.

“As for the gear, I’m using a mirrorless Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark I with few M.Zuiko lenses and a cheap, amateur strobe,” Kadysz writes at BoredPanda. “I’m not a professional photographer. Just an amateur with a will to learn and improve. The photos below are all selfies.”
Here are some more photos published so far showing Kadysz as Vader:
