Joseph Sywenkyj – Verses from a Nation in Transition: Conflict and Family in Ukraine | LensCulture

I do not think about the presence of poetry when I am shooting and I would not describe it necessarily as an approach. It more or less just happens. It is just the way I see the world through my camera. I describe my photographs as poems in part because photographs, or any form of expression, are sometimes made through a labor of love while at other times they are made on the spot in a jolt of inspiration.
