Born in '91, in Poland. Graduated as BA in Media Arts and Graphic Design at The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw, Poland.

Co-creator of the best online masterclass in Poland, about photography — Projekt Fotografia, and about videography — Projekt Film.

With an unspeakable name for all foreigners — Paulina Wierzgacz, I am known as Vryga, also I do run a travel blog in polish, with the same name vryga.pl 

I am trying to pursue my dream about making stories through images with a great attach to the nature — from all over the world, with special touch for my beloved North.
Now, with my beloved dog, Saarloos wolfdog, Runa.

A bit of a nomad. Before, most of the time in Norway, once in Oman and Germany for a long while.
Now in Poland. Soon, vanlifer to be.
