You have a beautiful collection of all year round seasonal inspired pictures! What is your favourite season for shooting in and why?

For me as a landscape photographer it’s definitely autumn. In Poland at this time of year there’re so many beautiful colours of the trees and meadows. Additionally, in autumn the weather changes all the time bringing some of the most captivating meteorological phenomena such as mist, frost or rime. Autumn is also the best season to capture breathtaking “Seas of clouds” in the Polish mountains due to the frequent temperature inversions.

How does Poland compare to some of the places you’ve travelled for landscape photography?

The majority of my international photography travels were to the Alps. In Poland there’s only one small mountain range of alpine character: the Tatra Mountains that are my favourite photography destination. Tatras occupy an area of one single alpine massif but there’re so many diverse landscapes that make them a perfect scenery for photography at any time of the year. Western Tatras resemble Julian Alps or Dolomites with calcareous rocks, caves and meadows. Eastern Tatras are similar to the highest parts of the Alps with granite crags and high vertical cliffs but with no glacier cover. However, there are beautiful postglacial lakes and u-shaped valleys. In contrast to the Alps, all tourist destinations (including highest peaks) in the Tatras are easily accessible within one day hikes that also favours landscape photography.
