Wojtek Ryzinski (b. 1980), originally from Gliwice, Poland, and living in Ireland since 2004.
I've taken part in many workshops—including the Eddie Adams Workshop and VII Masterclass—and my work has been recognized at international photography competitions such as the Italian Street Photography Festival, Brussels Street Photography Festival, Miami Street Photography Festival, and Leica Street Photo.
My photographs have appeared in magazines, exhibited in galleries, and featured in photography festivals.
If you're looking for someone to photograph people in real-life settings—not posed or polished—I’d love to hear from you. I focus on capturing honest, candid moments that tell real stories. Whether it’s a personal project, an event, or something else you have in mind, feel free to get in touch.
