📸 Meet Our Photographer - Yuliia Shevchenko

Yuliia Shevchenko | Photographer | Oxford & London Yuliia Shevchenko is a professional Photographer & Phototherapist with 10 years of experience, specialising in women’s portraiture, family photography, personal branding and business photography.

At the heart of her work are genuine emotions, real-life moments and a person’s inner state. Her photography has a natural, lifestyle approach — less posing, more personality, connection and life as it is.

Alongside photography, Yuliia specialises in phototherapy, combining photography with elements of psychology. For her, photography can serve different purposes: a resourceful practice that helps people reconnect with themselves and feel more confident in their own image; a visual language for telling the story of a person and their business; or a way to preserve family stories and create a visual legacy for future generations.

Her work is about people, emotions and stories — not just beautiful images. 💙💛

📸 Come and discover Yuliia’s work at Ukraine Fest 2026!
