These pictures, magical in their atmosphere, belong to a Kiev photographer Oleg Oprisko, which principally shoots not on an expensive camera, but on a film camera, the one in which you need to charge film reels for 12 frames. This is an unusual approach in our time, but it fully justifies itself, given the originality of Oleg's work.
Oleg was born in Lviv, one way or another after school he was associated with design and photography. At one time he worked in a photographic laboratory, where he photographed people for documents, retouched photographs, and little by little got acquainted with the intricacies of working with film. A little later, Oleg acquired his own Nikon D50 camera and began experimenting with photography himself.
At some point, having met famous photographers at that time, Oleg followed them to Kiev, ready to do any job. For a long time he worked on order, fulfilling the customer's requirements, which in the end became too difficult for such a creative person as Oleg. Taking a break from work, Oprisko found an old donated "Kiev-6S", and this film camera changed everything in his life.
“For me, the ideal situation is when 12 frames are taken in one shooting, - says Oleg Oprisko. - I approach preparation very carefully. Even before shooting, I clearly know how the frame will look. things that can only interest people who are captured in the photograph. But you need to set yourself the task of creating something that will be interesting to a wider range of viewers."
