Two years ago, Yulia, my friend and fellow photographer from Kharkiv, came to visit me in Berlin.
And in a spontaneous burst of creativity, I ended up photographing this beautiful woman.
I remember being so fascinated by her energy, her naturalness, and the way she came alive in front of the camera. You think you know someone, and then suddenly you see a completely different side of them. Maybe it’s because Yulia is a photographer herself and knows what it’s like to be in front of the lens.
And this is what I love most about photography — that moment when I suddenly feel like I’m watching a movie about someone. Their different sides start unfolding right in front of me, and I just can’t look away. I’m watching, observing, shooting — and I’m genuinely curious to see what happens next.
That’s exactly how it felt with Yulia. This incredible feeling of watching someone reveal themselves right before your eyes.
And well… I only got around to editing these photos yesterday. Two years later!
Yulia, better late than never!
