Photographer born in Łódź, Poland, in 1987. Son of film director Leszek Baron and Barbara, PhD in the humanities with a specialization in history.

Instead of the hustle and bustle of the city, I chose a life close to nature – in the mountains. For several years, I lived and worked at a mountain shelter on Szrenica peak in the Karkonosze Mountains, while based in Szklarska Poręba. I now live in the Beskid Sądecki region.

I began my photography journey in 2009 and since then have received numerous awards in photography competitions. I was a finalist in the National Geographic Poland Grand Photo Contest and a multi-time honoree in prestigious international competitions such as the ND Photography Awards (three times) and the Monochrome Photography Awards (four times).

My work has been published both online and in print – including in magazines such as “Poznaj Świat” and “Na Szczycie.” In an article featuring my photos, National Geographic Poland referred to me as the “Baron of Mountain Photography.”

I also run photography workshops, during which participants can explore the most beautiful corners of the Polish mountains and expand their knowledge of landscape photography.
