Artistic and timeless photography for couples deeply in love.
The Why
In the very middle is the picture of my aunt, my nanny. She taught me how to make pancakes.
She wasn't able to escape the war.
I don't know when Im gonna see her again.
I have been a photographer since 2014.
But this year (2022) my view at my job has completely and irreversibly changed.
Here is why...
In February 2022 I found out that my home country Ukraine was under a full scale war.
My beloved parents, siblings, grandmother, niece and nephew and woman who raised me were hiding in the cellar because russians started bombing my homeland.
My little brother watched the rockets fly over the house where I grew up.
I was scared if I will ever see them again. I still don't know if I will ever see my grandmother who wasn't able to leave.
In between phone calls in the middle of the night waiting to hear if they are okay, I searched my house for photos of my family and the house I grew up in.
I found a handful of polaroids from my wedding.
I was flipping through images and all I wanted was to see people who were at my wedding. Friends and family who I might not see again.
The photos of grandma, my college friends, my dear aunt, my parents are the most precious thing I own.
In the toughest time of my life I realized something.
Art has no value without meaning.
Pretty things with out purpose are just.. pretty things.
They won't fill your heart.
But people and memories of them will.
Nothing lasts.
You never know whats gonna happen.
