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

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.

Inspired by My Father

Much of my creative outlook was shaped by my father, Andres (Andrzej) Kossowski — known later as Andre — who was born near Warsaw in 1929 and spent his life pursuing exploration, innovation, and art. After the Second World War, he and his brothers sought a new beginning in South America, where he became an original co-founder of Promar TV, Venezuela’s first private television station. His curiosity about the land and its possibilities also led him into the field of photogrammetry and aerial mapping, where he helped chart previously unmapped regions and supported urban planning during a time of rapid change.

Although engineering and cartography were his profession, art was his lifelong passion. He drew, painted, photographed, and travelled widely — from remote regions of Venezuela to the wild spaces of Namibia — always observing the world with a quiet fascination. That same way of seeing continues to influence how I approach my photography: as an act of exploration and storytelling.

My Approach to Photography

I try to look at the world with patience. Photography is not something I rush. It is a way of slowing down long enough for a moment to reveal its character. I watch how light shapes a landscape or how a living creature settles into its space. I try to follow the quiet movements that usually pass unnoticed. These moments have their own truth and this is what I want to reflect through my images.

My work is built entirely from my own photographs. Some images remain close to what I saw at the time. Others are created as composites, slowly pieced together from different moments I have captured. Every element is real and every part begins with something I experienced. I do not use AI generated subjects or artificial material. Authenticity matters to me. Even in my composite work, the story comes from the world as I have lived it.

I am not driven by trends or by needing to impress anyone. My focus is simply to create images that feel honest. If a photograph encourages someone to pause or to look a little deeper, that is enough. For me, photography is not about perfection. It is about noticing meaning in familiar places. It is about recognising fragility as well as beauty. It is about understanding that even ordinary moments can hold something worth keeping.

This is how I try to work. Quietly. Thoughtfully. With respect for the places and creatures that allow me into their world. In the end, I hope the images I create offer you a sense of calm, connection, and a reminder of how much there is to appreciate when we look slowly.
