 About Ulana Switucha\n
 \n
 \n
 \n
 Ulana Switucha has photographed throughout Asia for over 30 years. Sh
 e is Canadian and currently resides in Hong Kong. Working in both col
 our and black and white, her simple, often minimal compositions prese
 nt an awareness and connection with the subject, whether it be landsc
 ape, portrait or documentary work. Influenced by a Japanese aesthetic
 , there is an evolving minimalist style and contemplative peacefulnes
 s in her recent work. Her passion and curiosity are best expressed by
  a quote from a contemporary photographer: “If I weren’t 
 a photographer, I’d still be a traveler”.\n
 \n
 “When creating a photograph, I am drawn to the light and shape 
 of a subject. If only for a brief moment there is a clarity and sense
  of awareness that dissolves distractions and brings silence. Light p
 lays with line and form to create shadows drawing my eye into tones, 
 lines and curves. I seek simplicity and a graphic quality that clears
  the visual clutter. Whether landscape, portraiture or documentary, I
  aim to communicate the essence of the moment and share an expressive
  and compelling image.” \n
 \n
 Ulana is the recipient of awards from several international competiti
 ons including First Place, Architecture and Design in the 2025 Sony W
 orld Photography Awards. She was also a contributing photographer to 
 the book “In the Heart of the Metropolis: Yaumatei and Its Peop
 le” published by the Royal Asiatic Society, Hong Kong, and has 
 been published in fine art photography magazines. In 2025, she publis
 hed her first photo book “Torii” with Blue Lotus Editions
 . Her work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Europe, Japan, Canada and
  the United States. \n
