34 poles of creativity: copyright in photography
The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, together with legal experts from the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UAPI/IP Office), has initiated the development of a suite of standard contract templates for photographers to use in their daily work. This package of documents will include licensing agreements, agreements on the assignment of economic rights, as well as agreements on the payment of royalties and author's remuneration. It is essential to adapt these templates to various fields of photography, as each niche has its own unique needs and operational specifics that must be addressed from a legal perspective. In addition, practical guidelines are planned to assist photographers in navigating any potential copyright disputes or challenges.

He currently serves in the 12th Special Purpose Brigade “Azov” of the National Guard of Ukraine. His black‑and‑white images capture the full spectrum of war — moments when a person sometimes has no choice about remaining on the light or dark side, as well as the ongoing effort to preserve light in others and within oneself.
