"Abstract Landscape" Photograph

Barbara and Maciej are a husband and wife duo of award-winning photographers, visual artists and travelers. Their work has been recognized internationally, earning prestigious awards. In 2023, they were named Professional Nature Photographer of the Year at the International Photography Awards (IPA), celebrated at the famous Carnegie Hall in New York City. Their photographs have also been awarded in multiple editions of the IPA, Prix de la Photographie Paris, TIFA Tokyo, Siena Awards, ND Awards, and exhibited in the US, France, Japan, Italy, Greece, Hungary, China, and Germany. Barbara and Maciej's editorial photos have been published in a wide range of articles published in Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Forbes, The Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and Architectural Digest. Their photography has also appeared on the covers of jazz, pop, and classical music albums released in the US and the UK, as well as books by numerous acclaimed writers, including a Nobel Prize laureate. Born and raised in Poland, they hold Master’s degrees in Arts and Science, respectively, and have been based in Southern Germany for the last 25 years. As documentary, travel, and fine art photographers, they have explored over 60 countries worldwide and 16 US states. Another key area of their work is aerial photography. As a private pilot and photojournalist, Maciej began capturing air-to-air and air-to-ground images back in the analog era. Later, he flew and photographed together with Barbara; today, the duo frequently utilizes drones. They shoot breathtaking landscapes, unusual objects, and patterns on Earth, where the boundary between reality and abstraction often blurs. The artworks of Barbara and Maciej are in private and corporate collections in the USA, Canada and Europe.
