Alan Majchrowicz

Biography

Wilderness photographer Alan Majchrowicz is fortunate to be able to combine his passion for the outdoors with his profession. Born and raised in the Midwest, Alan studied photography and painting at The Art Institute of Chicago. Responding to the call of the wild Pacific Northwest in 1980, he moved to Washington state. Since then he has hiked, backpacked, and driven throughout the region, using a large format camera to photograph spectacular land and seascapes. Alan also works in the studio photographing flowers, shells and an assortment of natural objects. His images capture the perfection and fragility of objects found in nature and serve to remind us of our human impact upon the natural environment. "Producing images which inspire and move the viewer" is both Alan's goal and his reward for his life's work. Alan's photographs have been exhibited throughout the Northwest and are included in private and public collections. He is also represented through stock agencies and corporate art dealers. His images have appeared as posters, greeting cards, in advertising campaigns, calendars, and many national magazines including Backpacker, Country Journal, and US News & World Report.
