Hi, I’m Dina. I’m a Ukrainian-born, NYC-raised professional photographer. I have been in the industry for more than a decade, working with publications like National Geographic, TIME, New Yorker, GQ and The New York Times Magazine. I have an MFA in Photography, a degree in Psychology and a background in Art History.
My assignments have taken me around the world, from photographing the Amish and Mennonites on Vacation in Florida, to big wave surfing in California, to a Debutante Ball in New York City. You can take a look at a decade's worth of personal and editorial projects on my website and Instagram.
This newsletter isn't just for professional photographers or engaged hobbyists, but everyone curious about our current visual culture. It is an ongoing dialogue about the art and craft of creating and thinking about images.
In my weekly posts, I discuss the creative process, focusing on the WHY of photography — intent, meaning, and inspiration. I share my insights into the world of a professional photographer, stories behind shoots, as well as all the things that make me tick and inspire me to create, from photography to art to music.
