Wojtek (Voytec) Wacowski

Based in New Haven, Connecticut, he currently works as a freelance photographer, specializing in obtaining fresh perspectives on sailing ships and the maritime industry. His work has been exhibited internationally in addition to appearing in several books, calendars and posters. Wojtek specializes in offering complete promotional packages for sailing vessels. From the photo shoot to the delivery of final publications, he carefully supervises the entire editing and production process. As a photographer Wojtek combines his in-depth nautical knowledge and sailing experience with unique artistic vision to capture and share the romance of tall ships around the world.

Love of the sea and travel is in his blood. Born on the Baltic coast in Gdansk, Poland, to a mariner's family, his childhood playgrounds were the ships commanded by his father. Trained on Polish yachts and tall ships , he has sailed everything from a Balinese jukung dugout - on which he single-handedly traveled the Far East - to the 188’ Canadian barquentine “Concordia”, where he was Chief Mate for many years. As a professional tall ship sailor he has logged over 125,000 Nautical Miles, traveling all the oceans of the world while visiting six continents and numerous exotic islands. He has been a full-time photographer since “anchoring” in New England in 2002 .
