My name is Roman Kurywczak and I have a passion for photography. Originally a graphic art major, I combined my love of hiking and travel with photography. Even though the art major never materialize, the interest in photography never waned. Over the last twenty five years I have been able to share that love with my wife Pura and two sons, Gregory and Ian. Primarily a landscape photographer at the beginning of my career, I have continually expanded my photography pallet by branching out into the world of macro work, birds, animals, and most recently HDR photography. Maybe the only thing better than taking great pictures, is sharing the experience with others.
I started Roamin' with Roman Photo Tours a little over 9 years ago for the sole purpose of running small instructional photographic tours and workshops. Many tours claim to be small, while they take 6 or more participants. I have maintained groups of only 4 on my US based tours to maximize your learning experience and instill a better understanding of photography techniques. Sharing my love of the many great places we will visit and watching you capture amazing photographs is my goal! Because of this small group size, my tours are extremely flexible to allow us to change plans as weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances arise. I know you can’t say that about many other photographic tours! My tours are not designed to be relaxing get-a-ways. We will start before dawn and be up until after the sun sets almost every day while taking most of our breaks during the mid-day hours. When possible, we will also do some night time shooting!

I strive to provide a unique photographic experience and social environment for people who share my excitement about photography. Although the tours/workshops are designed for all levels of photographers, some require a good deal of physical mobility as we go from one location to the next and not always over the best terrain. A few of the sites may require hiking, so know your ability and check the details of each tour to see the physical level required; some are easier than others. All my US tours and workshops are limited to 4 participants. Tanzania is limited to 10 to ensure maximum enjoyment for all. If you are a serious photographer who wants to be led to stunning locations at the right times or a beginner and just want to learn more, these tours are for you. On my tours you will not be lost in the crowd! I will be there right beside you to provide help or answer any questions that you may have. I personally run all my tours and workshops! I want people on my tours whose pursuit of the photographic art is only exceeded by their enthusiasm for life.
If you have any questions about my tours or need any more information, you can e-mail me at rkurywczak@gmail.com or call me at (908) 241-0500.
All the best to you,
Roman
