title
Web Of Lies
In this series of photos, you see a girl who wants to be beautiful for you, despite the obvious pain that the ropes are carrying. This is the web of lies she weaves for you.
For more than 10 years I have been working in the advertising photo business as a post-production retoucher with major international and local brands.
In 2018, I started taking pictures myself in the style of art photography. In 2022, during the war in Ukraine, I was admitted to the Ukrainian Association Of Professional Photographers (UAPP) and the Federation of European Photographers (FEP). The main aspiration in photography is the achievement of aesthetic beauty, expressiveness of colors and contrasts. The goal is to explore artistic photography in order to save my soul from the stereotyped advertising craft.
