Stanisław Julian Ignacy Ostroróg also known as Walery, Stanislas Waléry, Lucien Waléry, and Laryew. (1863 – 1929) He was a Polish photographer active in London and Paris between 1890 and 1929. After inheriting his father's name and photographic studio in London, he continued with portraiture for about a decade until the turn of the century when he moved definitively to Paris.

In the 1920s he focused on Art Photography and experimented with the figure of the model. During this period he used the pseudonym "Laryew" and under that name produced a book of 100 heliogravures, entitled Nus – Cent Photographies Originales. This photomechanical print (number XXII) is one of these hundred heliogravures published by A. Calavas in 1923.
