"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera"

— Dorothea Lange

Maryna Donska is a television director from Ukraine who, like millions of fellow Ukrainians, was displaced by the ongoing war. Before becoming a refugee, Maryna worked with large teams, producing content for major national channels, primarily in the entertainment sector. However, her true passion has always been documentary filmmaking and photography. Forced to leave her home country, she embraced the opportunity to pursue personal creative projects, which she fondly refers to as "warm corners of creativity."

Today, Maryna thrives as an independent artist and photographer, focusing on storytelling through the lens of a camera. Her curiosity about the experiences of others drives her work, and empathy lies at the heart of every project. She never leaves her coffee cup behind and often jokes about growing a third hand to hold it. Beyond her creative pursuits, Maryna enjoys long walks, diving into books, and finding inspiration in travel. For her, the journey itself is as fulfilling as the destination.

One of Maryna’s favorite forms of expression is portrait photography, which she believes can be a therapeutic experience for those wishing to capture their beauty or commemorate meaningful moments in their lives. Always eager to collaborate, Maryna is available to freeze moments in time, share a cup of coffee, or brainstorm ideas for creative projects in inspiring locations.
