Denis was born and raised in Ukraine and immigrated to NYC when he was 18 years old. Growing up in a different social and cultural environment made him see and appreciate things like freedom, opportunity, and justice in different light.

After spending over 10 years working as a software developer for large corporations, he quit his job to go to school to pursue his passion for philosophy and photography. Photography turned into a profession while philosophy and ethics still provide fuel for late-night debates with friends and strangers.

He started his photography career as a sports photographer for the NY Post. As he transitioned into wedding photography he found a lot of common elements between the two genres - carefully preparations and anticipations, the climax culmination, the quick pace and excitement of the day, the emotional drama, and the unscripted moments.

After 10 years of photographing weddings and sports in NYC, Denis was set to find a better life balance between analytical mindset, creative profession, and raising his family. He earned graduate degree in data science and moved to Pennsylvania for a full time job while continuing to photograph small local wedding.

Denis is a true Gemini and always has two minds about everything. He is usually a quiet type who is not enjoying small talks but can be pretty vocal when it comes to subjects he cares deeply about.
