We focus on educational, social, research and cultural projects for the development and popularization of Ukrainian photography aimed at uniting the Ukrainian photo community, promoting cultural exchange, establishing international partnerships and grant cooperation.
Our research projects are aimed at preserving and popularizing the history of Ukrainian photography, documenting and archiving iconic works to make them accessible to future generations.
We conduct a mentoring program and micro-grants for young Ukrainian photographers and artists in the format of online lectures, artist talks, Q&A sessions and individual consultations with mentors.
We organize exhibitions that help Ukrainian photographers to express themselves and their works on a global level. And we apply to the development and popularization of Ukrainian photographic art at the international and national level.
We are engaged in the creation and popularization of photo books that demonstrate the creativity of Ukrainian photographers. Our goal is to ensure a high level of publication and promote their dissemination among a wide audience.
Research Projects
A media and archival project that demonstrated the importance of the transformations our country is undergoing, as well as the value of documentary photography, which during wartime is not just a source of evidence about events, but a powerful weapon against propaganda and the falsification of history.
Social Projects
The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP) partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities and supported the All-Ukrainian Pajama Day, an event that brings together thousands of people every year with a single charitable goal: to help children in Ukraine stay close to their families during treatment.
Social Projects
The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP) has become a partner of the “From Country to Ukraine” festival, which aims to help local communities in eastern Ukraine fill their cities with an atmosphere of unity, support, and a sense of the indomitable Ukrainian spirit.
У межах ініціативи FotoEvidence Ukraine (UAPP × FotoEvidence) Українська асоціація професійних фотографів (UAPP) видала фотокнигу Лізи Букреєвої «Тут зводять будинки з попелу» — камерну й водночас безмежно масштабну історію про повсякденне життя цивільних у деокупованих і прифронтових громадах. Це книга про рутину, в якій інколи зникає логіка, але залишається людська гідність. Про зруйновані місця, що можуть здаватися майже звичайними, якщо не вдивлятися. Та щойно зупиняєш погляд — проступають тріщини: страх, біль, упертість, надія.
UAPP unites professionals from all spheres of commercial, documentary and artistic photography of Ukraine, acting as their official representative, as well as an intermediary in actions within professional photographic activities. We strive to support Ukrainian photographers through training, certification, cooperation and communication.
UAPP is an independent association of professional Ukrainian photographers, designed to protect their interests, support, develop and promote Ukrainian photography as an important element of national culture.
UAPP's activities span educational, social, research and cultural initiatives, as well as book publishing.
UAPP represents Ukrainian professional photography in the international photographic community and is an official member of the Federation of European Photographers (FEP) — an international organization representing more than 50,000 professional photographers in Europe and other countries around the world.
