Michael P. Gadomski is a professional photographer located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Growing up in the Poconos he explored the nearby woods, lakes, and wetlands as a child and developed a keen interest and a love for the natural world at an early age.

While in college he became interested in photography and started to combine his interest in the natural environment with photography. He was accepted by several stock photography agencies in the 1970s and continues to supply images to these agencies today. For 25 years he was also employed as a park naturalist and a park ranger by the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks. In 2002 he left the State Park Service to devote himself to a full time photography career.

Although landscapes are his specialty he is accomplished in other venues of photography including travel, botanical, micro, agriculture, lifestyles and people. Because he takes a naturalistic approach to photography the vast majority of his subjects are illuminated in natural light

He has photographed from aircraft, snowshoes, kayaks, from steep rock ledges, and often while wading in waist deep mud and water. He has returned from photo shoots with broken bones, twisted ankles, numerous bees stings and various cuts and lacerations. His collection of broken cameras and lens attest to the extreme conditions he has challenged to get the right shot.

Often working on the edge to get lighting or compositions not often seen by the casual observer, his images often take on an artistic or abstract characteristic. At other times his images are of a pure journalistic nature and frequently used by editorial publishers. His images have been used by hundreds of publishers and have been published worldwide.
