Growing up, my creativity manifested in various mediums but architecture was never on my radar until I moved in 2004 from a small mountain town of eastern Ukraine to the eye widening metropolis of Chicago. Influenced by cultural shift and dynamic setting, architecture became the ultimate embodiment of my artistic character. To further mold my passion, I acquired a degree in fine arts with an emphasis in architecture from Art Institute of Chicago and have never looked back. Today I continue to work both as an architect and photographer. Understanding the processes that go into the projects before hand, I find  architectural photography especially gratifying.  I recognize each assignment as a concluding aspect of a collaborative process and treat each opportunity as extension of that.

 

As I keep developing and analyzing my work, I am always on a lookout for a next project to photograph. I would love to hear from you as well!
