We are returning to Kyiv.
On the way, we visited my cousin and nieces in Vienna. It was not my personal wish, it was the wish of my cousin (16-year-old Alyona, with whom I went on this trip). She wanted to see her brother and nieces, whom she had not seen since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. And I did not see them even longer.
I have never had a close relationship with my cousin and his daughters...

for several weeks now, when I am alone with myself (and this happens rarely), I have an unpleasant feeling...which I could not describe for a long time. And so today I was able to call this state the word - "Reward". the feeling as if I am a reward, and it is so unpleasant... there are people close to me, and there are people who are not so close, who constantly give me this feeling - as if they want to appropriate me, to receive attention from my communication, they want to call me "mine" (f...

Today, while looking for one of the backstages on the phone, I accidentally got stuck on viewing my phone gallery. Memories of 3-6 months ago. It seems that it was recently, and I have so many pleasant things about that time, despite the fact that that period was not so beautiful, I would say quite depressed, somewhere, of course, with ups and downs, very bright ups and downs... But still, watching it a...

I'm in Barcelona)
The truth is that I still do not feel my presence here, I still have the impression that I am going to the Polish border in a bus full of grandmothers. Because that's how it was for almost two days.
I got the most vivid experience in my last three years, because of my infantile. At the border with Moldova, the Moldovan side did not let us i...

Today begins my new small journey ... but finally not a working one. Vacation) with my cousin.
Her name is Alyona. This is the closest person among my relatives after my mother. We rarely see each other, spend little time together, but are very active in sharing everything online. I love her very very very much) I want the best for her. And this time I decided to offer her to go with me on a trip to the ocean.
I am a little nervous - she is 16 years old and she is quite an adult i...

Maria (because of this woman i start being photographer )
I completely dissolved in my travels.
So much so that she completely abandoned shootings that I did back in April. Now I will try to return to the working and creative mood. I took a lot of pictures, I still take a lot of pictures, but choosing and correcting the colors is a problem...I can't find the time at the moment. I will make amends during this time while I am in Kyiv.
Yes, I have already returned home. K...

In memory of Berlin, I will share with you a series that we filmed with Alex back in January. When, after Alex's next unreal delicious author's gin and tonic, he offered to take a picture in the bathroom. To which I agreed without thinking for a long time. Because at least it's fun and I knew we'd get cool sh...

Life is abundance!
as soon as you tune in with actions and thoughts from the heart from acceptance - life gives you everything, you give yourself everything.
A couple more days and I will end my stay in Berlin. I have a lot of work here, a lot of acquaintances and time spent in communication. It inspires me. I won't lie, it's also very exhausting. Therefore, my next stop will be Munich and Italy with a friend, where we can just be, just meditate, just listen to the sound of the se...

Berlin - the first workshop was successful) At first I was a little lethargic, because Alex and I drank too many margaritas the night before the workshop... but then I got involved after the first round of filming. I missed such shootings, such photographers, such myself on the set. When you are not limited, when you can express yourself, your mood, your strength or weaknes...

I was thinking about which shooting to show you today... and the first one I found is this one... it's interesting how my inner state is reinforced by the surrounding things. For example, this picture fully reflects my current state. Full, calm, happy, dreamy. in this state, I constantly remember my loved ones. Yes, I want to share the energy that is pouring out of me right now.
I love this ...

I must have shared with you a dream about a trip with like-minded girls to a nice warm place where we will meditate, drink tea, talk, dance, take pictures and walk naked.
A kind of women's retreat lasting a month (or maybe more). So, every time I mentioned it, I got a smile on my face and the thought that "someday I will do it". But I never made it her goal.
This week, this thought stuck in my head again, but not as a dream, but as a goal. But I modified it a little. I plan to go ...

as always - the closer I get to leaving Ukraine, the intense my life here becomes.
I went to an underground party for the first time, I went to a rave party for the first time in a super cool Kyiv club (at least during this visit I heard about this club from every second person I met and everyone advised me to go there). I began to see people faster and to understand myself in these relationships with these people also faster. I don't waste my time. I discover and explore myself, I allo...

Now I will tell a wonderful story about this beautiful girl that I filmed in Barcelona.
I wanted to photograph her for a very long time, but every time I came to Barcelona, we didn't have time. But this spring, we finally planned and implemented it.
We agreed to meet for coffee before the shooting to chat a little and get used to each other. Yana has never posed completely naked, she is not a mode...

I finally remembered and felt how exciting it is not to see those people you don't want to see (even if they are your best friends), how exciting it is to cancel upcoming upcoming plans because I just feel that way now, how wonderful it is to turn on the phone to "do not disturb" mode and feel peace at last.
Today I found out that I have to go to the village again to help my mother -...

"Balance"
This word has come up so often in my life in recent weeks. And not that it is a motto or a style of my life... Balance is what I lack right now. I constantly live in some exaggeration in hyperbole of emotions and events. I fail to stop myself in time and stand in the middle of the scales. I wake up and realize my state when I am at the lowest or highest level. I constantly asked myself the question "What am I doing here?"... And the solution to the problem constantly "flew out...

I have been in the village for a little less than a week. In the village where my dad was born and in the village where my closest relatives now live (since the beginning of the war, this place became the safest for them).

My best friend and his wife were visiting me this week. I was emotionally distant for a couple of days. I couldn't get used to the fact that I see these people live, and not online, that I can hug them, touch them. The last time we saw each other offline was in September... I'm like that with all people. Even when my parents come, my peak of communication and tactility falls on the 3rd-4th day, and the first days I walk alienated.
Almost every day I went to the botanical garden early in...

I concentrated on myself and my feelings. And you know what? I realized how much love I have for my friends, loved ones and even strangers. Love overflows inside me and I want to share it - hug, kiss, caress, talk... It's such a wonderful feeling)
Usually, every morning I drink tea and write my thoughts and feelings in a diary, and I do all this with a photo of me as a child. I spend time with myself, with my little s...

I have already shared with you self-portraits on film - 3 years ago. Then I tested my Nikon F65 in auto mode and manual mode. I liked the result, but at the time I was still in the mood with my digital camera and was reluctant to spend money on film.
Now I am sharing with you the first shooting on Kodak TMX100 film in a long time. After which I realized that it would not be a pity to spend more money on analog photography.
Most importantly, I reali...

The last two weeks in Barcelona have been very eventful. The main one was that my friend Aleks came to see me from Berlin...

That in 10 days, a person became my friend, so that I could call him a friend even without the slight...
