The photo Placidity was selected by curators and published in the world-leading online photo gallery 1X.

This photo, taken in 2018, is a reflection of the surrealism created by the Chinese Pond of the Brech resort complex. There is a typical Siverian nature around and a small pond on a forest river, and the old sailing ship surrounded by Chinese-style pagoda-like houses situated around the pond. This contradiction of impressions is so strong that the brain is too lazy to believe what the eyes see. And in order to emphasize it, it’s remained to find some mind-blowing composition of objects in the frame.

During these Christmas days, the 100% winter photo "The Hoarfrost" was accepted in world-leading 1X.com online photo gallery.

In winter, we have such monochrome days when nature has almost no colors except black and white. This photo was taken on one of these days in 2014. Its calmness and meditativeness have always fascinated me, and now the curators of the 1X.com so. And on these Christmas days, I would like to wish endurance and peace to all Ukrainians — both those who are on the front lines and those who are in the rear. We need them now so much for Victory...

This night photograph was captured near midnight and it shows one interesting attribute of photography. It is often believed that a photograph is a copy of what is visible at the time of shooting. However, this is not entirely true and the photograph often reflects what is not visible.

For the human eye, at the time of shooting this photo, there was complete darkness around, which was weakly dispelled even by the light of the full moon, and I was looking for the edge of the river bank by a flashlight — I didn't want really to jump with a camera and a tripod from a 3-meter cliff into the water. But, due to the long exposure, on the photos taken clouds appeare in the sky, and the tints of the sky reflects on the water, and the forest on the banks of the Desna river is visible, and even, if you look closely, you can see the small sandy beach in the distance. It's just a magic - this is how a photographer CREATES a picture with a camera...
