Photographer's Profile

Halyna Vitiuk

Galigrafiya, Ukraine

"Focus on good thoughts and all will be good." This old Jewish wisdom is my main motivation in life and I use it as a message to everyone who is sad or upset. There are too many negative feelings and problems in the world. People are constantly stressed by responsibilities at work and home. We spend our lives in traffic and web. The popularity of psychology and therapy has grown exponentially. Art and cinema are also more likely to use negative topics to attract more viewers. I think, that we are what we look at, what we read and what things we surround ourselves with. I have two children. Kids know how to sincerely enjoy the simplest things. While adults tend to constantly set huge goals and forget about their real desires. My children taught me to look around with curiosity. Thanks to them, I found my own creative way and time for hobbies. Photography became a reflection of this experience. My images would make you smile. I show in pictures that joy can be found in everyday things like a cup of coffee, book or flowers. My pictures are carefully prepared and always have a surprise element. Familiar objects captivated with unusual presentation. It lead to slight confusion and create space for imagination. These pop-art tools help to entertain a viewer and grab attention. The stories of the ordinary people who are changing our world are my source of inspiration. Amazing inventions, creative projects and unusual brands inspire me to try something new, something meaningful. Like Edison tried again and again before creating the light bulb. Behind the huge brands like Apple, Starbaks and Zappos, I can see the strength of people, their work, endless positive energy and faith in the results. There are no technical perfection in my works. There are no deep conceptual ideas. My topics are not philosophic and my images wouldn't lead society to spirituality. My art tell people about joy, hope, faith and dream, the simplicity of beautiful things and a world in which nothing is impossible.
