He was born in the Ukraine and lived in the US for two decades, while during the past three years, his home is Kiev Boryspil airport (Ukraine), departures […]

My first trip to review portfolios in Houston Fotofest was among the longest, strangest and funniest itineraries I’ve experienced. In 2006, paper tickets started to give way to the electronic tickets.

On this sunny spring day, airborne over Greenland, a group of us passengers were standing in the back of the Jumbo. Some were admiring the landscapes of glaciers, while the two of us – me and a passenger from South Africa were unanimous, pointing our looks towards the cabin crew members, who had just completed […]

Beauvais Tillé airport (BVA) is called “Paris” by cheap airlines. Well, Paris is probably the last thing that comes to one’s mind while visiting Beauvais airport.

It was among my very first pictures after deciding that I must do a body of work on air travel. I landed at midnight at Hahn airport and walked along the terminal. Success!

“It is always like that. When I fly intercontinental, I never get enough sleep before taking off. In September 2009, during my second trip to Australia, I arrived late at night in Singapore Changi airport. I was not dreaming of kangaroos yet and had only three things on my mind. First, getting connected was vital […]
