Photography: Volodymyr Demkiv
Volodymyr Demkiv
Born in 1986 in Ukraine.
Currently lives in South Florida, USA.
Volodymyr’s passion for nature extends beyond the mere act of capturing it on film. He views himself as a guardian and observer of the natural world, and seeks to encourage a more thoughtful and sustainable relationship between humanity and the environment through his work.
Using traditional, non-digital, analog photographic medium, he creates a body of work that conveys the beauty and fragility of the natural world. He believes that photography has the power to inspire and educate, and their work is a testament to the importance of preserving the environment.
The deep connection to nature is reflected in their approach to their craft – using digital technology in favor of a more hands-on, tactile approach that requires patience, skill, and attention to detail. The act of capturing an image on film is a deliberate, meditative process that allows full immersion in to the environment.
Through his images, the artist encourages us to consider the impact of our actions on the natural world. He believes that humanity has a responsibility to protect and preserve the environment, and their work serves as a call to action. Each photograph is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and a testament to the belief that we must strive to live in harmony with it.
In a world that often seems increasingly disconnected from the natural world, the work stands as a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness with the environment. Through his art, he seeks to inspire a deeper appreciation for nature, and a more thoughtful and sustainable relationship with the world around us.
