(1980 - )
Born in Poznan, Poland, Kuba Ryniewicz now lives in the North East of England. Ryniewicz studied philosophy in Poland before moving to Newcastle in 2004 to study Photography. Graduating with a degree in contemporary photographic practice from Northumbria University, he soon established himself in fashion and editorial photography as well as participatory art projects, shot with passersby or in schools. His photography challenges traditional portraiture and travel chronicles to narrate unheard stories in the varied contexts of landscape, history, fashion and culture. His work has featured in publications ranging from the Financial Times and Creative Review to Dazed and Wallpaper and has been shown at venues such as the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (2019); and Newcastle Contemporary Art (2022).
