Adam Balcy (b. 1975) is a photographer based in Bielsko-Biała, Poland. His practice spans landscape, mountain, and documentary photography, shaped by an authorial approach and a personal perspective on place, environment, and human presence within the landscape.
His work often develops through long-term projects that move between observation and a more reflective visual narrative. He is the co-author of the photobook Iceland Impressions (2017), created with Iwona Łopatecka. His recent projects include Iron Island, a documentary series exploring the lives of workers on offshore extraction platforms, and Immersion, a more introspective body of work developed in the North Sea.
Balcy’s photographs have been exhibited in Poland and the United Kingdom and presented at photography festivals in Poland, including the Foto Art Festival in Bielsko-Biała.
His work has been recognized in international competitions such as Travel Photographer of the Year, International Photography Awards (IPA) and PX3 – Prix de la Photographie Paris. He is a member of the Association of Polish Art Photographers (ZPAF).
