Kowalski, who won a World Press Photo award this year for his aerial photography, is showing the extraordinary winter landscapes in London for the first time.
It has taken him years to complete the collection because paragliding in the winter is difficult, dangerous and expensive.
“I focus on aerial pictures of winter because they are so rare. There are many obstacles that get in the way: snow at the take-off, no wind, and sometimes the lens freezes within 20 minutes of take-off – if your fingers haven’t frozen to the point of being numb first.”
“One winter I was only able to paraglide on one day in the season.”
