Let this introduction post become a new chapter in our relationship 💗
15 years ago, I earned my first money — enough to buy a camera. It wasn’t the smartest purchase, but it was something I deeply wanted. I’ve loved photography and everything connected to it since childhood. I was always printing and collecting photos (I still have a huge archive of school pictures 🤪).
Over the next 10 years, I built my own family photography studio in Kharkiv and worked with some of the most well-known clients across the country 💛💙 But because of certain fears and lack of understanding of myself, I eventually reached complete creative burnout. I sold all my equipment and moved into product business. For several years, I couldn’t even take photos on my phone. Later, I slowly started photographing during travels again, and only now I truly feel the desire to work with people, create, and express myself again 🫶🏼
But I feel that what I want to create now is completely different. I’ve changed a lot, and I can see it in my new work. I want to go deeper into people — to capture more of their inner state and less of the external attributes 🤍
I hope it will be interesting for you to walk this path with me too. I don’t know if it will be a long one, but as long as I feel inspired and curious, I will keep creating and sharing it with you 🙌🏻
Right now I live in Lisbon, and I invite you to create together with me here or anywhere else in Europe 🌎 Thank you for remembering me and for your kind words — it truly means a lot and inspires me. I wish all of us an interesting and beautiful journey, wherever we are and whatever we do 🫰🏻
Tell me about yourself — where are you now, how are you, and what inspires you or gives you strength these days?
