📷 CADRAGES - Yelena Yemchuk in conversation with Daria Scolamacchia
Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Yemchuk immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was eleven years old. Yelena became interested in photography when her father gave her a 35mm Minolta camera for her fourteenth birthday. She went on to study Art at Parsons School of Design in New York and Photography at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. Yemchuk has exhibited paintings, films and photography at galleries and museums worldwide. She has shot campaigns for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Another, ID, and Vogue among others.
In 2022, her book of photographs “Odesa”, dedicated to the Ukrainian city of the same name, aroused much curiosity and approval. The work was recently exhibited in Reggio Emilia as part of the Fotografia Europea Festival.
In June 2023, the volume “УYY” won the PHotoEspaña book award in the International category.
