From where are you?
I’m from Ukraine. I live in Kiev.
What is it that attracts you the most
of what you have around you?
Everything depends on my internal
state. Sometimes there are days when I notice nothing, but sometimes it happens
I have a clear feeling, thought and emotion, and in that moment everything is
united in one shot.
Describe some of your projects
Your main concept what do you want to say by your art, why?
All of my projects are a part of
myself, a part of my life. I narrate about what I see and feel. ‘Deep Sleep’ is
about slumber, ‘Walls of glass’ about fragility of our walls. ‘Stray dog’ is an
exhibition with what I go to audience.
Tell us about your experience as
photographer what did it give you?
I am not a photographer in the
direct meaning of this word. I don’t know all of the basic rules, don’t know
all the techniques, I can’t work in the studio.
I am an ordinary man. I use
camera as a Dictaphone to record my thoughts and feelings.
A film, a book and a song .
Contacts
Erich Maria Remarque - All Quiet
On The Western Front
Daughter – Youth
What camera do you use? lenses?
Mostly, Olympus mju 2.
Tell about exhibition if you ‘ve had any.
I had an ordinary exhibition as
well. People were drinking wine, works were on the wall. But I want to tell you
about the ‘Stray Dog’ project. It’s an exhibition that can take place anywhere.
I was showing my works at 12 o’clock in the deserted street, at the metro
station, on the table in café, and in the park on the bench, and at the kitchen
of my friends, and at the tram station…
‘Stray Dog’ is a carton box, pack
of photographs, dog-lead and personal story. With all these things I go to a
person who wants to see it.
Do you sell prints?
I haven’t think yet about the
prints but I already have a couple of zines.
How do you make it and where can
someone buy?

What was your most big success?
My life is quite calm, I didn’t
have a glorious triumph.
Favourite photographer.
There are a lot of them. I was
lost in the photography and saved nearly 15 000 of shots which I saw and
feared to lose.

What is your occupation, job,
interest besides photography.
describe it.
Previously, I was working in
advertisement but then I decided to do something for myself. Except
photography, I like good cinema, literature, theatre, bowling and pool.
Which advice would you give
someone who wants to become a (professional) photographer?
It’s necessary to give yourself
completely up to what you love and don’t stop.
Your plans.
I want to see the world and live
by the sea.
