    War, Minimalism & Meaning: A Conversation with Ukrainian Photographer Serhii Diedushev

    In this episode of The Visual Storytelling Podcast, I sit down with Ukrainian photographer Serhii Diedushev to explore his poetic approach to photography, shaped by minimalism, arthouse cinema, and the realities of war in his home country. I was personally left speechless by how Serhii manages to create such meaningful and timeless art while war rages at his very doorstep. We talk about: The impact of the war in Ukraine on his documentary work Why storytelling and meaning matter more than technical perfection His passion for film photography, darkroom work, and gear (yes, plenty of Leica talk!) How social media and AI are reshaping photography today Advice for aspiring photographers on slowing down, noticing light, and creating work with depth Resources & Mentions Serhii’s Instagram: @mahno47 Vladyslav Krasnoshchok Mikhail Palinchak Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes On Photography by Susan Sontag Serhii’s images don’t just capture moments — they make you feel and think. This is a conversation about art, resilience, and the power of photography to connect us across borders. /// Don’t miss an episode—subscribe and rate the show on your favorite podcast app!
