Equipment

​​I work with high-quality professional equipment that directly influences the depth, clarity, and emotional impact of each photograph. My gear includes a premium full-frame mirrorless camera and fast Canon RF lenses — 50mm f/1.2, 85mm f/1.4, and 24–70mm f/2.8 — which allow me to work with natural light even in challenging conditions. For lighting control, I use Profoto external flashes, Aputure LED panels, and reflectors, adding volume and atmosphere to every image.

I have been photographing for over 8 years

​ Love for imagery, light, and detail began much earlier — back in my childhood, when I accidentally found my grandfather’s old camera. It was heavy, metallic, carrying the scent of film and time. Back then, I knew nothing about shutter speed or composition, but the very idea that I could pause a moment and keep it forever — fascinated me. I looked at a frame and realized: today it is just a picture, but tomorrow it will already be a memory. That discovery grew stronger with the years.

 Since then, I photographed everything — friends, family, my city, strangers’ faces. And very quickly, I understood that photography is not only about an image. It is about people. About emotion. About a story worth telling. I observed a lot, listened, learned, and each time I became more convinced — real photographs are born when there is a connection, trust, and space for sincerity between the photographer and the person.

​I come from Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, a creative and cultural city that shaped my taste, my vision, and my sense of the moment. That is where I shot my first weddings, my first family stories, and experimented endlessly with light, style, and emotions. My friends and first clients inspired me not to stop, to look deeper, to see wider. Today, I live in Italy, in the city of Pescara, where I continue doing what I love most — capturing photo sessions for couples, families, children, and everyone who wants to preserve authentic life moments in pictures. 

​I work with professional equipment — a full-frame Canon camera, fast lenses, portable lighting, and stabilizers. But the most important part is not the gear, it is the feeling. I always photograph with my heart and personally edit every single image — with care, with respect for details, for the story, for the person. My photographs are emotional, vivid, and soulful narratives. I don’t create perfect images — I preserve real people.

  ​Photo sessions with me take place in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I don’t rush, I don’t impose, I don’t force anyone to pose. Instead, I help you feel at ease, move naturally, choose the right location, outfit, and mood. It’s more than a shoot — it’s a gentle process of meeting yourself, your loved ones, and the fleeting moment that exists only here and now.

  ​The profession of a photographer may often look romantic, but in reality, it also carries great responsibility. It is about trust, planning, technical preparation, logistics, resilience, editing hundreds of files, and managing every stage. But for me, this work is never a burden. It is my nature. I love this craft deeply and truly.

 Before booking, I always offer a consultation where we discuss the style, your wishes, the location, and the timing.

 If you are looking not just for a photographer, but for someone who will truly see you — I would be delighted to create a photo session that will stay in your memory for years to come.

Photographer

Vision

​This is not just experience. It is a different way of seeing the world. Over the years, a photographer learns to notice what others overlook: the angle of light that changes the mood of a shot, a gesture that speaks more than words, a fleeting moment that lasts less than a second but preserves an emotion for years. A professional does not look for the perfect pose — they capture authenticity. They don’t simply press the shutter — they think in frames, shapes, colors, and composition long before lifting the camera.
