Kuba Ryniewicz travels the world in search of perfect snapshots

Polish-born photographer Kuba Ryniewicz spends his days in Newcastle but can more often be found travelling the globe in pursuit of stunning scenery. His destinations to date have included Myanmar, Thailand, Dubai, Cambodia, Iceland, South Africa, and numerous other places in between. In each he’s captured extraordinary moments in both rural and urban landscapes, interacting with the local people and wandering off the tourist trail. Kuba’s images possess a snapshot spontenaiety that suggest a real intimacy with his subject, whether its close friends reclining on a hillside or a monk showing off his skateboard tattoos.
