I was born and raised in Ukraine, Zaporozhue city.

I moved to Toronto in March 2024, because of the war. I love my beautiful country and I condemn this war.

I have done photoshoots for over 7 years, I love it so it feels like I’ve been doing it all my life. I get inspired by capturing real emotions and life stories into an image where the warm memories can be kept forever.

My only ask is to relax and let loose your emotions to be on the same wavelength and enjoy the ride with me.

I take the camera and go to look for beauty in your usual world.

Our life is full of moments that we would like to keep in our memory and return again and again to those moments of happiness, freedom, and spark in the heart, to experience this state anew.

I will help you capture the particles of happiness and sparkle in your eyes, convey how happy you are at this moment in your life, and frame these memories in photos.

I like to shoot in usual live conditions, for example, on city streets, or at home.
Wearing casual clothes and minimal make-up will highlight your true beauty.

Forest Insects: A Magical Autumn-Winter Transformation

In this enchanting photo project, the delicate remnants of autumn and winter—dry leaves, fallen fruits, and plant branches—are reimagined as whimsical, fairy-tale creatures. These "forest insects" come to life through the lens, transforming into intricate and otherworldly beings that inhabit the quiet, hidden corners of the forest. With a blend of nature’s beauty and imaginative artistry, this series invites you to explore a magical world where ordinary elements are reborn as extraordinary forest dwellers.

European Streets: A Photo Reportage from Copenhagen and Saarbrücken

Embark on a visual journey through the streets of two distinct European cities: Copenhagen, Denmark, and Saarbrücken, Germany. This photo reportage captures the essence of life in these vibrant urban landscapes, each with its own unique charm. In Copenhagen, experience the harmony of modernity and tradition, where cyclists navigate through canals, colorful buildings line the waterfront, and the city’s laid-back yet progressive vibe is ever-present. Meanwhile, Saarbrücken reveals a quieter, yet equally captivating atmosphere, where history blends with contemporary life, and the streets tell stories of cultural fusion, local traditions, and the dynamic pulse of a border city. Through these photographs, witness the everyday moments, the architecture, the people, and the soul of both cities, offering an intimate glimpse into European street life.

The exhibition presents a heartfelt collection of photographs capturing the vibrant life of Berdiansk, a coastal city in southeastern Ukraine, before the onset of conflict. Through intimate images, the exhibition showcases the beauty, culture, and community of the city, documenting daily moments of joy, family celebrations, and local traditions. It serves as a tribute to the resilience and spirit of the people, offering a poignant reminder of the peaceful, thriving city that once was.
