About

Svetlana is a self-taught photographer who uses the camera as a way to explore and make sense of the world. Her work centers on the complex relationship between humans and their environment - particularly the traces, imprints, and interventions people leave on the world around them. While human figures are often absent from her images, their presence is deeply felt in every frame. She tries to capture moments that feel surreal, dystopian, or twisted, while maintaining a documentary approach. Her process is rooted in analog photography, embracing its slowness, tactility, and potential for experimentation and playfulness as essential parts of her practice.
