Spotlight on: Piotr Stryjewski

I was doing a little research into our local photographers and I found myself looking at the website of Piotr Stryjewski. I’m guessing he is not a Basingstoke native, judging by his name and his website; “Stryjewski” is not a typical Hampshire surname. Not that it matters, of course! I’d like to find out a little more about where he is from, what his influences were and how he came to be living and working in exotic Basingstoke!

To be honest, I can’t say I am excited by all of his photos, but what I really do like is the way his fashion work seems to spill over into his wedding photography. It gives it an edge and, in my humble opinion, really makes it stand out. Wedding photographs can be quite boring for anyone outside of those directly involved, so creating images which are interesting in their own right is an achievement.

Some investigation is required.

    I actually like his work it is a little different. One thing i do know is that not every photo by a photographer will WOW you.

    Piotr is a brilliant photographer, as his portfolio clearly shows. He has a very edgy style and a fantastic eye for a shot. Photography is always very subjective…. but for what its worth, my opinion of him is very high.
