Between Darkness and Light

Natalia’s photos are taken in Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, and Odesa regions. All places depicted are civilian places – a residential building, a block of flats, a house, a university, a cemetery, and a field of wheat.

Natalia Azarkina | Kyiv, Ukraine

Natalia is a photographer from Ukraine. Before the full-scale invasion of Russia, she worked as a photographer in advertising and as a portrait photographer. Now she is using her camera to depict the horrors of war in Ukraine, the reality she lives in. War concerns everyone whether they want it or not. She never dreamt of being a war journalist but she feels there is no choice left because it's her country and it's personal.
