About Me
Photography is more than just a skill or talent, it's a passion that needs constant fulfillment. It's a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. I love the people I photograph. I feel like they are all my friends, some of them I have never met, some of them I don't know well. But I get to know them through my camera. Vicariously, I live with them and I fall in love with them.
More than nine years ago I took my first photos of friends and family. I saw beauty everywhere and in every person. Many things have changed during that time. But my passion has lived on - passion for progress and the joy of good work.
One year ago I had to leave all of my life behind with a few suitcases, with good memories of peace and life in my country, Ukraine. I am saddened that I came into my passion in this way, the way of war. But I'm grateful for the people that I met in this beautiful country America, grateful to God to give me a second chance to live and to create. Now I'm here to create, to show love, passion and beauty of every person.
