ChicagoPride.com and Nightspots Magazine Photographer

The youngest of seven kids raised in the Chicago suburbs, Ryan Kolodziej (pronounced ka-low-jay) is the signature drag enthusiast of his native city’s LGBT media.

Regularly contracted by Nightspots Magazine and ChicagoPride.com since 2004, Kolodziej’s photographic reporting covered over 250 drag shows in the five years prior to 2011. His credits cite multiple cover shoots for Nightspots, including the publication’s Pride 2007-themed issue, as well as the front-page photo of Cyndi Lauper printed in The Windy City Times’ Gay Games ’06 edition.

Ryan can be befriended online at www.facebook.com/ryankolodziej and his blog is a frequent feature on ChicagoPride.com.

A collection of creative and professional works are available for viewing at www.ryankphotography.com.

Likes: I like confident guys who can handle a sarcastic sense of humor. Prefer a guy on the "thick" side.

Turn-offs: Arrogance!
