PERSONAL DETAILS
Roland Idaczyk
Wellington, New Zealand
Interested in a wide range of photographic subject matter, but strongly preoccupied with nature and environment. This usually includes studies of landscapes ranging from apparently untouched wilderness regions to those interfered with by human hands, such as urban and industrial environments, but also what I would refer to as social landscapes.
Photographically self-taught
Using 135, 120 and 4x5 formats
