Born and raised in Kyiv, I received an engineering education. In 2004, I graduated from Viktor Marushchenko’s School of Photography, and since then I have worked as a professional photojournalist for a number of Ukrainian media outlets and international agencies. My work has been published in National Geographic, Spiegel, Stern, Time, The New York Times, The Washington, The Guardian, Kyiv Post and many other leading international publications, and has been featured in international photography exhibitions. In November 2017, I gave a presentation about my frontline work during the launch of the RAW photo book at the Ukrainian Museum in New York. My project “The Independent Ones”dedicated to young Ukrainians fighting for their country, has been exhibited in an online exhibition at the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago. Contributor to Radio Liberty.
I have been covering Russia’s aggression against Ukraine since the very first days of 2014, and throughout all these years have collaborated with international agencies such as AFP, EPA, AP, Reuters, as well as various international publications..
