Andriy Maykovskyi

I'm travel art photographer living in Chernihiv, Ukraine. Founder of 'Mayk's Photo.Art', member of art association 'Kievphotos-Hall 2012'. I photograph landscapes, architecture, destinations, places, nature, abstracts with passion to find and to convey a visual reflex and a soul of the subject matter. To achieve this my photographs go through heavy post-processing but with no significant retouche of real picture, because a marvel of photography is that the image on the photo impressed the viewer is based on the real shot, and this presents the viewer a reasonable hope that a miracle exists in reality.
