WHO WE ARE?

Lukasz Boch and Marcin Baranowski. We have been dealing with nature photography for a decade. This one dominated our lives, creating a different, better dimension in which we constantly reside. Enthusiasts, explorers and adventurers, lovers of wild creatures and plants. In the constant delight of the light of dawn, the taste of the wild river and the rustle of old trees.

WHY US?

Our everyday life is learning and constant search for the way to the goal. We never take shortcuts, and hard work and a deep conviction about the value of the road itself and its experience have become our philosophy. We experience nature and the beauty of the world emotionally in a deep, almost metaphysical way, while constantly trying to improve our skills. Discovery is the essence of beauty, and beauty is the highest value for us.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Throughout all these years of being in the bosom of nature, we have learned that the challenges we set ourselves lead to an inner sense of fulfillment and harmony. That is why we have chosen the most difficult and demanding roads. Water is our element and we spend time in it almost constantly, regardless of the season. We spent thousands of hours in the treetops, and even more camping in the wild, which gives us great satisfaction all the time. We have completed numerous photographic projects in every environment we have in Poland.

WHO PROVIDES US THE EQUIPMENT?
