Olena Oskina

Hi! I am Olena from Ukraine. All my life I was passionate about art. From my childhood I dreamed to be an artist. Then after I wanted to became a diplomat and entered International Relations faculty in National University in Odessa. As usual my favorite disciplines were intercultural communications and foreign languages. After I finished University I needed to find a good job, so I became a part of very wonderful team of a huge international company. My life became financial stable, but boring and I was taking part in all events inside company that were related to design of new office, internal photography contests, corporate parties arrangements and so on. In 2012 I got my first camera, it was Canon 7D and started my way closer to my dream and farer from my stable financial job. In 2016 I opened my photo studio in Odessa, this studio is not only for me, any person can come and rent this space for any art project. When I started my way in photography I saw a lot of beauty around of me, and I was myself in my photos. Then after when some other photographers were coming to my space I started to think that I am doing something wrong or not popular or not like others do, because I was thinking about profit. When you think about profit, you are loosing art inside you. So I changed this way of thinking, I try to do what I want, how I feel without any doubt. My art projects are only about my vision. My every next step is to became more and courageous with every project.
