Alex Krowiak is a San Diego–based photographer working to tell stories of people, nature, and the changing relationship between the two.

Currently, he works as a certified photo instructor and naturalist with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions, using his backgrounds in biology and ecology to lead workshops and trips in destinations around the world. His chosen subject matters are the changing elements of the places he visits.
