  Ulana Switucha

Tokyo's extraordinary architecture is a blend of traditional values and contemporary expression. This dynamic city has earned a global reputation for cutting edge architectural designs. Light and shadow reduces the buildings to minimalist forms, reflecting the strong sense of place.

When creating an image, Ulana is inspired by light, shape, and tone. Her simple, often minimal, compositions present an awareness and a connection with the subject whether it be landscape, portraiture or documentary work. Based in Hong Kong, Ulana's work has been exhibited and published internationally. Her passion is best expressed by a quote from a contemporary photographer: “If I weren’t a photographer, I’d still be a traveler”.
