Kazimierz Seko (1917–2006)—a photojournalist—was born near Stanisławów and began taking photographs while studying at the Academy of Foreign Trade in Lviv. During the occupation, he helped Jews—he was posthumously honored with the Righteous Among the Nations medal. After the war, he settled in Upper Silesia. From 1948 to 1952, he worked at the Military Photographic Agency, and later at the Central Photographic Agency; in 1952, he organized the CAF branch in Katowice, which he headed until 1982. In 1973, he was the first Polish photographer to serve on the World Press Photo jury. He was a co-founder of the Silesian Press Photography Club and an honorary member of the Association of Polish Art Photographers (ZPAF). His archive (over 40,000 photographs) is housed at the Museum of the History of Katowice.
