About The Photographer

Join me on this extraordinary expedition as I capture the fleeting moments that shape our lives, freezing them in time to evoke memories and emotions. Together, let's celebrate the power of photography to transport, inspire, and ignite the imagination.

Adam Piotr Kossowski - Behind the lens - the photographer

Blessed by parents who lived and loved exploration, I have spent my years having a career, changing my priorities, and savouring moments of life, beauty, and everything else. I studied, I travelled, I got entrepreneurial, I married, I have a daughter, I made and lost friends, and now, five decades on, I have begun to search for a passion that gives me a sense of peace in what I do.

I am often reminded of this by the cycles of life around us - from trees that are thousands of years old and have seen empires come and go, to tiny insects whose time here is just a matter of hours.

An urgency, though, seems to tug at my heart about the state of our planet. Life as we know it here on earth seems to be changing fast.

Perhaps this is the journey I'm entering as I navigate what photography means to me. I look at everything as a story that needs to be told, shared, or brought to attention.

I think we all yearn to be validated, or told we matter. But I prefer to let you, the observer, decide if my stories resonate. What works for one doesn't necessarily translate to the other, and that's OK. I don't live for judgement or popularity. Rather, for me, if one person has a moment of joy or gets inspired by something I captured, then I have more than achieved my goal of giving thought.

Time is valuable, and standing up for the truth in a world where it is becoming scarce, is important to give our lives meaning. My truth is to talk about the fragility and beauty of our everyday world through my lens and take pleasure, even for just a moment, in where we live.
