Michal Sikorski - has been on an over forty years’ long creative quest of photographing deserts all around the world. When deliberating possible concepts for presenting it in a book form, together with Peter Gyllan - the co-author of A Fascination for Deserts - looked into some art & visual perception theories that could provide us with a useful formula that would emphasize the awareness for picture composition in my pursuit of aesthetically ideal motifs, out there in the stretches of sand and barren rock.  We agreed on, that as a matter of fact, I design my pictures, as far as the extreme environmental conditions allow for it.

Michal Sikorski was born in Warsaw. Poland.
He graduated in the field of photography from The School of Fine Arts in Gdynia and studied art history at University in Warsaw and Stockholm. Michal began his travel adventures in 1971 when he left the then Communist Poland and moved to Sweden. During his numerous trips,
 Michal Sikorski fell in love with the desert landscape. He is an avid nature photographer who finds inspiration in many places across the continents. His photos do not belong to the genre of documentary. He is not a naturalist, but a photographer who tries to capture the elusive
and mysterious beauty of nature through his camera lenses. His works give the opportunity to open the eyes of others to the colorful power of nature, delighting many with his gift of what he can capture esthetically through his lens.
His photographs were published and exhibited at various times in Sweden, Poland, and Germany. Homepage: http://www.photomanagement.se Link to my book: http://www.blurb.com/user/Sikorski
