Born in Eastern Ukraine in 1954, Juri Nesterov’s photographs show us life in Kyiv, the country’s capital city. “Though I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer in 1976, I have always had a passion for photography and arts and after a short stint in engineering became a full-time photographic artist,” says Juri.

“Most of the time I hear the question: ‘Where was this picture take?’ or ‘What kind of camera? Which lens?’,” says Juri. “I really want to answer: “In the world of people with their thoughts, disappointments and hopes.”
