In this episode Ella talks to Igor Chekachkov, Ukrainian photographer and visual artist.
Igor began his career as a photojournalist, documenting cultural events, public life and sport, before moving into the world of art photography. Today, his work explores the relationship between public and private space, technology, identity and the way digital algorithms shape the images we see.
Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, his work has increasingly focused on his Ukrainian identity and the meaning of home during times of war and displacement.
His photography has been published in major international outlets including Forbes, National Geographic, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel and The Economist. His work has also been exhibited around the world, from Kyiv and Odessa to New York, Liverpool and Paris.
