MAREK ARCIMOWICZ

Born in 1972, Marek Arcimowicz managed to squeeze in a degree in Architecture at Wroclaw University of Technology between consecutive expeditions and ‘life in a backpack with a camera bag’. He began his work as a professional photographer during a trip to Tibet in 1994.

For a few years he combined the role of work as a photographer undertaking challenging projects with that of a design consultant and organizer of specialist sessions with the leading Polish outdoor company. Since 2000, he has been continually cooperating on various projects with NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC – the Polish edition, and he participated in the jubilee, collective exhibition “Through The Lens of NG”. A great number of his photos have been published, including three photo stories. Marek’s works has also been published in Newsweek, Men’s Health, Focus and many others. A double laureate, his works received first prize in the 12th and 13th Biennial Exhibition of Mountain Photography in Poland. Member of world pro-photographers team of LOWEPRO. Also supported and sponsored by VANTORO, MERRELL, TILAK, SONY.

He has gained his professional experience by working for M&C SAATCHI, PUBLICIS, JUST, TBWA, EURO RSCG, OPUS FILM and others. His photographs have been used in many advertising campaigns. He specializes in action, outdoor sports and extreme photography. He jokes that his biggest achievement is climbing to the top of Ama Dablam in the Himalayas with a full set of 6×7 camera and lenses in big bag with tripod – “it was harder than a high altitude Sherpa’s work”.

“I didn’t choose my life in the mountains – it’s just happened. I’ve been trying to become a normal person and have normal job, but that didn’t work!”

Doug Coombs (1957-2006)
