Board of the Foundation
Michał Gromada President and Founder of the Foundation
Michał Gromada is a renowned Polish portrait, fashion, and commercial photographer.
He is the creator of exhibitions that have drawn great interest from both the media and the public — including “My Femininity” and “Recycling Dogs”, which became one of the largest animal rights photography projects in the world.
He often collaborates with well-known Polish and international artists. Occasionally, he also writes song lyrics.
In both his artistic and private life, he has long been involved in helping animals — especially dogs.
After years of commitment, he decided to establish the FPK Foundation (Fundacja Psa Karmela, Karmel the Dog Foundation), named in honor of one of the dogs he rescued.
He also shares his life with a female dog named Lila.
As for his free time… well, it doesn’t really exist.
