Although Chapel Hill, North Carolina has been Wojtek Wojdynski's home for the last 20 years, he began his photographic journey as a teenager in Warsaw, Poland. At 12 he began spending time in a darkroom at one of Warsaw's art centers. When he was 16, Wojdynski build his first darkroom. After completing a master's degree at Warsaw's Polytechnic Institute, Wojdynski put his photographic dreams on hold and redirected himself for a career as an electrical engineer, which brought him and his family to the U.S. in 1981.

After twenty years of keeping his interests on the back burner, Wojdynski was able to realize his dream and make photography his full-time occupation in 2000.
