Hi, my name is Adrian Michael Wlodarczyk and I am a renowned expedition and adventure photographer that has traveled to the ends of the Earth, literally, to photograph the worlds most extreme landscapes and wildlife. I specialise in photographing the polar regions, tracking wildlife and organising private photography tutorial expeditions for groups and individuals. From chartering entire ships into the polar regions, or simply walking through and negotiating India's markets, I can put you face to face with the wildlife or travel destination that you never thought you would be able to photograph (See www.adrianactionphotography.com/expeditions for details).

Living in Los Angeles, my photography tutorials can be held anywhere in the world, encompassing both classroom and field lessons. While the Arctic and Antarctica aboard ice-breakers are favourites (I have been to Antarctica twenty times in my career), we can charter ships to suit any number of people anywhere in the world and create our own itineraries. I also have personalised photography tours through India that include amazing train journies, the Taj Mahal and market walks.

Growing up a native of Australia and surfing, swimming and playing soccer, my competitive intuition and love of nature have been the drive behind my photography.

I started my photography career off in in my hometown of Melbourne and eventually worked my to following the worlds best surfers around the globe on the World Surf Tour. After a few years on the tour, I eventually moved to Los Angeles to further my career. I took up a position photographing lifestyle, swimwear and artistic nudes for Shapeshift Photography (www.shapeshiftphotography.com). My heart however, always lays with the outdoors and as often as possible I pursue expedition photography on board ships to every corner of the globe.

I produce commercial and fine art images that result from my adventures (All my photos are available as prints), and some of my clients include Rip Curl, Patagonia, the World Surf League, expedition companies as well as many corporate groups and private individuals.
