My passion for art began in early childhood. I loved music and drawing. Additionally, I attended an art school for children, which helped me develop a creative perception of the world.

A few years later, as a teenager, I became interested in fashion, photography, and video. One of my favorite activities after school was watching music videos of American artists, and from that moment on, my dream was to shoot my music videos. At the age of 15, I watched Twin Peaks for the first time, and it became one of my main sources of inspiration. This series greatly influenced my creative vision.

Over time, my interest in fashion photography grew. I consistently organized photo shoots for my friends and shared them on my Instagram. I also enjoy being a model for other photographers. This experience is extremely helpful in my work as a photographer because I understand what it’s like to be both in front of and behind the lens.

My passion now is to capture the beauty of people through pictures and help them see themselves from a completely new perspective. I believe my style can be described as mysterious dark fashion. I love using dark colors and harsh lighting in photographs. Growing up in Ukraine, Ukrainian cultural heritage naturally played a huge role in my creative life. I love mixing American and Ukrainian motifs in my art. That’s what makes my style unique.

I moved to the United States at the age of 17. With a strong desire to study visual art, I spent many hours searching for the perfect program that would fully align with my interests and professional goals. I had no hesitation before entering the Visual Media Program at Seattle Central. I was 100% certain that studying there would help me improve my skills in photography and videography and also better understand my style, integrating it effectively for a wide audience.
