My name is Adam Grochowalski

I live in Kraków (Cracow, Krakau, Cracovia etc.) in Poland.

By education I am an analytical chemist – scientific research worker at the Kraków University of Technology. My professional interest is focused on research in determination of highly toxic substances, especially dioxins.

But entomology, partly botany and photography, are the passions of my life. I try to combine them into one and I spend all my free time photographing nature, especially insects and plants. My favourite field is macrophotography. I take photographs of insects mainly in nature, but I breed many species at home to be able to capture their various development stages. It’s wonderful if something crawls on the wall or the ceiling.
It is no secret that my work has been exhibited many times, both in and abroad.
To see how the photographs have been taken, visit: How do I do it… panel, please.

My current snapshots are presented in the Gallery. There are presented more than 500 photos, mostly from insect microcosmos.

I will be grateful for any critical comments and any experience that you might want to share with me; if you have any questions, write to me!
