UKRAINIAN EASTER EVENT
29th April 2023
A Heartwarming Ukrainian Easter Event Amidst Turmoil - A Photography Journey
Time flies, and it has been a year and two months since the full-scale invasion began. Despite the ongoing war, there are moments of hope and unity that shine through. One such beautiful moment was witnessed at St. Margaret's Hall in Bradford-on-Avon, where a heartwarming Ukrainian Easter event took place, bringing together Ukrainian families and the British community to celebrate together.
The event was filled with love and warmth as both Ukrainian and British families came together to prepare and share delicious foods. Beyond the delectable treats, there was a captivating display of necklaces, bracelets, home decorations, and charming Ukrainian design aprons for sale. What made this even more special was that the proceeds from this sale were used to support the brave Ukrainian Soldiers, adding a sense of purpose to the celebration.
In the middle of the joyous atmosphere, the highlight of the event was when Nicole Medin, a talented singer, graced the stage with her angelic voice. Her beautiful performance brought everyone together, and her singing added the perfect touch to the festivities.
As a photographer present at this event, I had the privilege of capturing these precious moments. My first task was to document the event itself, ensuring that the spirit of the celebration was preserved in photographs. Additionally, I had a personal project called 'Persistence Road of Life.' For this, I had the opportunity to meet a Ukrainian family and take some photos for my book while gifting them some cherished pictures to keep as memories.
Lastly, I was entrusted with the responsibility of photographing Nicole during her soul-stirring performance. The aim was to preserve the magic of her singing, so everyone could relive and cherish the experience for years to come.
Events like this remind us of the power of coming together and celebrating life's joys, even in challenging times. The love, unity, and resilience displayed on that day will never be forgotten. Through photography, I hope to extend this beautiful story to the world, showcasing the strength of the human spirit and the enduring power of togetherness.

As the day draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the busy yet incredibly enjoyable time I had as a photographer. The event I covered brought so much happiness, and I cherished every moment of capturing it. Armed with my trusty Nikon D850 and a versatile 24-70mm lens, I ventured into the world of photography.
