Wojtek Ryzinski (b. 1980) is a Polish photographer from Gliwice, living in Ireland since 2004.
I’ve participated in numerous workshops, including the Eddie Adams Workshop and the VII Masterclass, and my work has been recognised 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 been published in magazines, exhibited in galleries, and shown at photography festivals.
If you’re looking for someone who photographs people in real-life situations, I’d be glad to hear from you. I’m interested in images that feel genuine and connected to the moment. Whether it’s a personal project, an event, or something entirely your own, feel free to get in touch.
