A lawyer by profession, Olena gratefully calls the Kyiv School of Photography her photographic alma mater. For her, photography is one of the ways of living creativity. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Noticing details, the inconspicuous, discovering combinations and paradoxes, echoing elements, she gets aesthetic pleasure and shares this through her works. Shows the fascinating in the ordinary. In photography, she admires diversity, explores the aesthetics of different genres and directions. Shadows, the combination of textures and colors, the beauty of surface imperfections, the visual effects that occur at certain angles and in light rays, the harmony of black and white and the atmosphere created by color.
