My involvement in photography began in childhood. In 1999 I became a member of the National Society of Photo Artists of Ukraine. I have been a participant and award winner in more than 250 exhibitions in different countries around the world and have had more than 100 solo exhibitions in the Ukraine and abroad. I gained my AFIAP in 2005 and my EFIAP 2008. In 2020 MFIAP.
Over the years I have been an organiser of national and international art photography competitions. These included the "Pokrova Photovernissage", a salon that runs under with patronage, in which I have been involved since 2006, the Rivne Photography Cup since 2012, the International Reporting Photography Competition "Life Press Photo" since 2015 and others.
I am a publisher and author of more than 60 books on art, culture, local history and photography, and I currently work as a teacher of photography at the National University of Ostroh Academy and International Economics and Humanities University. Other positions and roles I have held are:
• founder and teacher of a Private Photography School.
• head of the Prostir Photo Club, ILFIAP Code 2032
• founder of Rivne Museum of Photography.
• head of Ukrainian Centre of Photo Art.
I love photography. I love talking to photographers about photography. I love photographic travels. I photograph people's lives. I study. I love to share my knowledge and skills.
At present, I am assembling a collection of cameras, accessories and photos for the Museum of Photography. I am also now writing a book about the history of photography in which there will be many illustrations.
