Maciej Margas

A Polish photographer, cinematographer, and Warsaw enthusiast specializing in aerial photography. He is the recipient of several awards, including the Grand Press Photo 2016 in the ‘Environment’ category. In 2015, he carried out the ‘Warsaw on Air’ project, becoming the first in Poland to capture such high-quality nighttime photos of Warsaw from a doorless helicopter, flying at altitudes of up to 3.5 kilometers above the ground.

Since 2016, Maciej Margas and Aleksandra Łogusz have formed the duo ‘POLAND ON AIR’, specializing in aerial photography and filming of Poland. Their work aims to promote the beauty of Poland from a unique perspective, showcasing both well-known and lesser-known places across the country. Through their efforts, audiences can admire Poland from a bird’s-eye view, offering a fresh perspective on its landscapes and architecture.

Together, they have conducted dozens of aerial photography sessions across Poland, spending over 100 hours in the air. Their work has resulted in a collection of films on their YouTube channel and the publication of several photography albums under ‘POLAND ON AIR’, including ‘WARSAW ON AIR’, ‘POLSKA Z NIEBA’ [Poland from the Sky], and their latest release, ‘WARSZAWA Z NIEBA’ [Warsaw from the Sky], as well as exhibitions featuring their aerial photography.
