Kacper Kowalski (b. 1977, Poland) is an architect and pilot, but he decided to commit to flying and photography - his true passion. As a paraglider, a pilot of foot-launched glider aircraft, Kacper would fly into the air with an engine strapped to his back to discover the world of forms, shapes, and patterns. Constantly fighting with the natural forces: wind and air currents, when he photographs from 150 above the ground level, he finds himself in an almost meditative state, when the nature and surroundings reveal to him not only abstract forms, but also seem to communicate with him with the language of symbols that appear on his photographs. The flight becomes a spiritual journey that reveals universal truths about the relationship between man and nature, about the past and the present, and about one’s own personal truth and the way to get there.  In 2021 Kacper will celebrate 25 years anniversary since his first solo paragliding flight. It means he has spent over 5000 hours alone in the air travelling over 250,000 km through the sky. That's like launching into space and almost being on the moon. He flew over the Dalai Lama's house in India, he made dozens of emergency landings including rooftops, trees and swamps and many adventures.  His first book, Side Effects, was published in 2014, and the second - OVER - was self published in 2017 and the third Arche in 2021. His photos have been awarded three times in the World Press Photo contest and have won dozens of other awards, including POYi five times. His projects have been exhibited several hundred times in group and solo exhibitions all over the world. He is represented by galleries: Bildhalle in Amsterdam and Zurich, and Atlas Gallery in London. His documentary photos are available for editorial usage by Panos Pictures agency. Kacper lives and works in Gdynia, Poland.
