This series of photographs was taken in Ukraine's highest-altitude town in the early morning hours of an Autumn day. As the sun rose, fog rolled in over the mountains and dissipated as quickly as it had appeared. These images represent memories of that day that I will always cherish. The beauty of Dzembronya is unforgettable.
The stretch of the Carpathian Mountains which run through Ukraine looks absolutely incredible in the fall. The drone shots especially highlight the rich color contrasts of the foliage and sky. Seen from the air, the mountains expand out endlessly and disappear into the clouds beyond. The compositions are simple, yet arresting.
Dzembronya is the highest mountain village in Ukraine, and sits among the tallest mountains in the country. Only 258 people live in this remote town, but anyone willing to make the journey is treated to a once in a lifetime experience with breathtaking scenery.
No trip to Ukraine would be complete without a visit to Ivano-Frankivsk. Here are a few of my favorite shots; They're atmospheric, minimalist compositions from the best city on the planet. And I'm not just saying that because it's my hometown...
We need your support. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, all profits from the sale of ANY of my photographic prints will be donated to Ukraine's United24 fund.
I highly recommend something from my Ukrainian collection! Or, you can donate directly to United24.
Thank you.
As some of my viewers already know, nightfall is one of my favorite times to shoot. As the sun went down, the Carpathian Mountains didn't disappoint. Stars lit up the sky, punctuated by periodic meteors streaking across space, while moonlight fully illuminated the landscape below.
My hometown has the beautiful lake and it is so diverse in so many ways. All photos in the series taken with the same approach. Simple clean composition with a lot of room to make viewer more present in the scene.
