In this project, my work was dedicated to the photographer's portfolio development and website creation, promotional strategy, and exhibition representation. I curated and produced a solo exhibition in New York, organized the participation of her works in international exhibitions in London (UK), Florence (Italy), Seoul (Korea), Yogyakarta (Indonesia), Bangkok (Thailand), and New York (USA), and also created the photographer's portfolio website. Her work was also presented at The Korea Times and received international recognition.
Valerie Didenko is a professional Ukrainian photographer with over 7 years of experience in Europe and Asia. Since the beginning of the war, Valerie has stayed in Ukraine, in her hometown of Kharkiv, which is subjected to daily shelling. She continues to create photo art despite the heavy military activity in the region. Since 2024, Valerie's main residence has been in Kyiv.
Elina created a website and digital portfolio, and upgraded professional social media accounts.
