Roman Kurywczak is a professional nature photographer for over 15 years
who conducts lectures and workshops across the globe. His boutique
tour company, Roamin’ with Roman Photo Tours, caters to small groups
to provide the ultimate learning experience for participants. Whether he is
out in Tanzania or standing before a roaring waterfall in Iceland, Roman’s
energy and passion for nature photography are clearly evident. You can
often find him out in Arches or Yellowstone national park late at night
photographing the nighttime landscapes and calling it fun! In the United
States, Roman’s photographic adventures have led him from Alaska
down to California all the way across to Florida and on up to Maine with
only a few states left to explore. Future expansion plans include many
international destinations. Closer to home, Roman will spend countless
hours doing macro photography. While he enjoys photographing insects,
his favorite subject is flowers, which he buys for his wife and he is sticking
to that story. Roman is equally comfortable photographing landscapes,
macro subjects, and wildlife whether he is at some exotic location or close
to home.
