How everything have started
Ever since my childhood, I've cultivated an intense passion for the photography. It all started when my parents made the decision to purchase our family's first digital point-and-shoot camera. From that moment, I was captivated. I began to bring the camera along with me, no matter where I was going, capturing moments of our everyday life. As my skills grew, so did my interest in this wonderful hobby. This interest, which started off as a simple fascination, soon evolved and transformed into something much larger, a dream I yearned to pursue. This dream was not just to make photography a hobby, but to make it my lifepath. Since then, photography has become an integral part of my existence, intertwining with my daily life, not just as a profession, but as a constant companion and a way to express my perception of the world.
I was fortunate enough to spend my years of childhood straddling two worlds, two countries - Ukraine, the place of my birth, and the United States. This unique experience of living in these two culturally diverse places profoundly shaped my view of the world. It was a journey that heightened my perception, broadening my understanding of different cultures and ways of life. This experience taught me to compare and contrast the different aspects of each culture. It trained me to analyze, and to observe the world around me with a critical and informed eye. It was an invaluable lesson in diversity, understanding, and acceptance.

I feel lucky to be a father of three beautiful kids. Being a dad gives me a lot of inspiration and teaches me to think outside the box each day. During my free time away from work I enjoy spending time with my family, reading my favorite books, listening to good old music, hiking somewhere in the woods.
For more than 13 years, I've stayed true to my path. My goals and dreams have shifted, but my love for photography has remained constant. While I've dabbled in different types of photography, I've discovered that photographing people and connecting with them brings me the most joy and inspiration.
