about

Adrian Wojtas (Nowy Sącz, Poland, 1996) lives in Dublin, but often works in Paris or wherever assignments may take him. He works with agencies, publications, brands, and labels in Ireland as well as internationally. Often driven by his passions for cinema, art, and design, he uses his colourful and expressive style to tell their stories.

Adrian holds a BA (Hons) in Photography from IADT and is also a self-taught designer and retoucher. He is a strong believer that if something is worth doing, it is worth doing well, and that an emotional response is the best indicator of truly great work.

He loves specialty coffee, owns more novelty socks than plain pairs, can always be found listening to Bonobo, and admires the paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński amongst a million and one other things.
