2-Day Masterclass by Eduard Stelmakh

From Phu Quoc Island to Kyiv, a Master Class for Ukrainian Photographers

This time, the journey took me far from the beaches of Phu Quoc Island to the heart of Kyiv. I came not for a shoot, but to share knowledge. A two-day master class brought together photographers from the capital and surrounding regions, united by creativity, ambition, and a love for visual storytelling.

 

The Kyiv photo community proved warm, curious, and incredibly engaged. It was a pleasure to exchange ideas and build connections across borders.

Photography workshop in Kyiv with Eduard Stelmakh sharing techniques from Phu Quoc Island

On March 12 and 13, I held a two-day master class in Kyiv for those who hadn't made it to the February MK. Photographers from Kyiv, Khmelnitsky, and Zhytomyr attended.

Thank you all, my dear Kyiv crew! It was such a joy to spend these creative days together with laughs, ideas, light, and inspiration flying around the room. You made this workshop feel like a reunion of good friends rather than just a learning event. I'm sending a big hug to each of you and who knows, maybe next time we’ll meet again under the palm trees of the island!
