OLEH MALOV

I am a photographer and designer. I am a senior lecturer at the Department of Design at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. I began my career as a theatrical photographer in 1987, combining this with work as a mime theater actor. I have experimented with fashion photography, portraiture, and still life photography. Currently, I prefer deserted urban "landscapes" and the exploration of abstract minimalist subjects.
