Oleh Malov

Oleg Malov is a contemporary photographer whose work captures the unnoticed beauty of the mundane, transforming everyday objects into profound visual stories through the interplay of light and shadow. Rooted in black-and-white film photography, their work highlights the simplicity and purity of form, revealing unexpected compositions in the most familiar settings.

Living and working in Kyiv, [Your Name] is continually inspired by the ordinary, experimenting with composition and natural light to uncover new perspectives. In their exploration of the human form, the focus is on the interplay of lines and shapes, presenting the body as an abstract study of structure rather than an object of gaze.

Each photograph is a unique in-camera composition, where form and light converge to showcase the transient and impermanent nature of both subject and medium.
