Nikolaev, Ukraine

During our annual visit to Nikolaev Orphanage, we decided to take portraits of children so they have professionally made head shots. We picked one of brightest rooms in the dormitory and had started shooting there, using window light. The atmosphere was fun because kids were surprised that someone is taking their picture. The line up was not ending and we were running out of memory.

Ochakov Orphanage, Ukraine

While the trip to Ochakov was total fun, it was a real eye opener to learn of the terribly poor condition of the bathrooms at the orphanage. It was absolutely heartbreaking to think that children had to bath in a space that was no better finished than a dungeon, no hot water and barely any fresh water.
