About Ivanna Oksenyuk

Growing up in remote areas of the Ukraine and Russia, I was the only kid at my school to own a camera, which led to my future as a traveller with a hunger for connecting with others.

Launching myself into the world alone at 18 and moving to Australia where I now call home, an initial invite to photograph a weekly night club in Sydney has me to hundreds of high-profile club, festival, warehouse, boat, and outdoor events. I am now an integral player in the global electronic music scene and has photographed many high profile DJ’s and performers.

Currently living in Melbourne, I studied with photographers such as Peter Coulson and John Collins, and constantly strive to learn new skills and collaborate in different ways with others.

With sparkling eyes and a relaxed nature that puts any subject instantly at ease, I have a natural ability of ‘capturing’ the essence of the humans around me, often with only a few clicks of her shutter.
