Wyrostok, Chuck

While still in high school, Chuck Wyrostok began his career in photography, scoring several front page spreads in NYC dailies before he was eighteen. After receiving a Best-In-Show award from NPPA's Press Photographers Association of Long Island, he began shooting commercial and corporate assignments for NY Telephone, Long Island Lighting Company and many other metropolitan area clients.

Now based in West Virginia, Wyrostok shoots editorial and commercial work for national magazines, colleges and trade magazines. Beyond his journalistic photography, Wyrostok has developed a passion for recording the mystery and wildness of Appalachia. He says, "people outside West Virginia would be surprised by the rich fabric of mountain people. Pleasingly frank and quietly strong.  People with grit, attuned to survival."  Wyrostok's photographs of Appalachian life have appeared in several West Virginia State Juried Exhibitions and he was recently featured in the "50 States" issue of Photo District News.

Wyrostok's diverse photographic career has deepened his worldly outlook and tenacity for "getting it right." Clients call on him for his ability to weave seasoned vision and years of experience into refreshing, story-telling images.

A show of recent black and white work is currently being prepared to open in 2010.
