Hello, I am Olena

I'm 28-year-old Ukrainian living in Bilbao, Basque Country. In my journey, I've explored many paths: studying philology, teaching English in Ukrainian schools, painting, and volunteering while traveling. But it was when I picked up the camera that I truly found my calling.

Photography isn't merely a job; it's the art of living, both for me and for the person within my lens. Each photo tells a unique story, whether it's the laughter of a child or the wisdom in an elder's eyes.

I've spent three years working closely with kids, which taught me a lot about humanity. But behind the lens is where I truly connect and can study the human essence.

Photography lets me dive into people's lives, preserving their memories authentically. It's not just about smiles and poses; it's about celebrating everyone's uniqueness.

It's my way of expressing love for storytelling and humanity. It's an honor to capture life's fleeting moments and make them last forever.
