The ongoing war in Ukraine has had a significant impact on the daily lives of Ukrainians. Since the conflict began in 2014, people in the affected areas have faced a range of challenges, including displacement, economic hardship, and psychological trauma.

Despite these challenges, many Ukrainians have shown remarkable resilience in the face of the conflict. Communities have come together to provide support for those in need, and many individuals have demonstrated a strong commitment to rebuilding their lives and their communities.

Coming from Dnipro myself, I have decided to capture impact on daily life, focusing first on unnoticeable signs of war around me.

Subtle changes that war brings to our daily life.

Ways it redefines meanings of everyday words and adds new context.

Amata Lynner Ukrainian documentary and fine art photographer Based in Dnipro.

Speaking Ukrainian, English, French and Russian.

Documentary and fine art photographer with a keen eye for capturing the essence of people, places, and moments, I use my camera as a tool to tell stories, evoke emotions, and explore the world around me.

With photography I’m fascinated by unique opportunity to share my vision of the world. To transfer and explain it not with the words but also images seen by the eyes. And each person’s vision is unique.

With a deep sense of curiosity and a desire to understand the human condition, I aim to embark on documentary projects that may took me to different parts of the world. Travel to remote villages, urban metropolises, conflict zones, and beyond, capturing the raw and authentic moments that define the human experience.

I enjoy working with people also - I strive to capture the essence of each character and the mood of each scene through my lens. My approach is to work closely with the director and the actors to understand their vision and bring it to life through my photographs.
