Oleg Oprisсo is a fine art photographer; he was born in the small city of Lviv, Western Ukraine. His interest in photography began when he worked in a photo lab for three years aged 16 years old, where he gained an understanding of the images and poses that were most liked by customers, and he still uses this as a reference for the work he produces today. In 2009, he switched formats from digital capture to film.

His images and creations often have deep, thoughtful meanings behind them. He photographs ‘real life’ scenarios, then manipulates the image to add other features such as people and props, creating a ‘dream-like’ or fantasy feel. He takes his inspiration from his everyday life, such as the things he sees on his way to work, and recognises that there is so much beauty to be found in everyday life; a view that I also personally share, and I want to capture this in my work. Everyday items may appear simple, but beauty can be found within them if we take the time to look and change our mindsets from viewing them as mundane.
