Yulia Shibirkina

I want to be engaged exclusively in photography, to study manual techniques of printing photographs and participate in international photo exhibitions.
I've been doing photography since I got a mobile camera since 2008. I began to turn everyday reality into artistic photographs during my studies since 2011, stroking the nature, posing people through the lens of a mobile camera. photographing still lifes under artistic lighting, my taste and techniques began to develop.
Photography has always been an intimate visual poetry for me. Looking at the world around me - I composed images - which are a reflection of my personal experiences and diving into myself. Shooting with a mobile camera and editing with a minimal set of tools, I immerse myself in a meditative state that helps me to live and cope with difficulties. I find inspiration everywhere through the photography process. I develop and know myself through photography.
I am grateful to the world for such a magical invention as the camera! And I intend to continue my journey and contribute to the development of the culture and aesthetics of black-and-white photography!

Bachelor of Fine Arts. studied at the Architectural and Art Institute the Odesa State Academy of Construction and Architecture, which is the heir to the glorious traditions of the Odesa school Ukraine.
2010-2015
study at the Faculty of Art and the defense of a diploma in graphic techniques. the topic of the diploma "one day in the life" was a difficult study. Since I entered a higher educational institution without artistic training, and at a fairly adult age of 27 years. The teachers told me that I was not Van Gogh and that it was not worth starting so late. a driving force arises in my life - love - love for art.
