It chose me.
Back in university in Kyiv, I started snapping portraits of people — and boom. I was hooked.Not because someone told me to. Not for the money.Just for the pure love of capturing real moments.
People said, “Charge for it!”I said, “It’s not work — it’s joy.”But when the demand kept growing, I finally said yes. First paid shoots. First real clients. Game on.
Then came Poland.New country. New energy. New opportunities.I built a website, tossed up a few offers — and clients started flowing in. Friends, strangers, small businesses… all trusting me with their stories.
I shot everything — weddings, events, portraits — you name it.Then one day, I saw a photo that changed everything. Floating objects. Total magic.I thought, I want to do that.So I did.
Food. Products. Still life.Uber Eats hired me. 180 restaurants later?I’d learned how to think on my feet, manage chaos, and deliver under pressure — with a smile.
Then came a small brand selling takeaway coffee cups.I shot their catalogue, crafted lifestyle scenes, even tackled tricky reflective knives.Did I know how? Not yet.Did I figure it out? Absolutely.That relationship lasted 4–5 years.
Then it hit me.I didn’t feel good photographing meat.But when a brand making activewear from recycled ocean plastic reached out during the pandemic?That felt right.
That was the turning point.Now I focus on brands that care — vegan, sustainable, and often local. Brands with purpose. Just like mine.
And today?I live and work in Valencia — a city full of warmth, creativity, and inspiring light.The perfect place to keep growing, connecting, and creating work that matters.
Still life. Real life.I don’t limit myself.I capture what’s true — and create what’s new.
Because this isn’t just photography.This is visual storytelling with a heartbeat.
Let’s create something that makes your audience stop, feel, and remember.
