Shy Guy Photograph

We are a Ukrainian-based photo art project with a focus on male forms. We bring these photos to life as decorative plate art. Our passion lies in two things - photography and vintage items. As a result, we made the decision to combine both into a single art form. This is our way of creating tangible prints of our photos. Each piece we create is unique; we don't cater to mass-market demands, but instead, we see our work as a representation of photo art. We carefully source all of our plates from flea markets and vintage shops around the world. Each plate is chosen to complement the mood and concept of our photo art, whether it's a single photo or a series. While some of our works may be provocative, this is a deliberate element of our art - a touch of irony. Our project is a collaboration of four individuals: Denis, a restaurateur; Julia, a photographer; Yuri, a bar manager; and Dmytro, a web developer. Together, we aim to convey the delicate nature of art and beauty, something we understand well in Ukraine. We print moments of beauty on durable, yet fragile items - vintage plates that have already endured the test of time. This dualism of life is reflected in our work. We believe that every piece of art, especially fine art, has a story to tell, and you will discover your own within our works.
