Get to know me
Hi! I’m Artur, a professional photographer based in Seattle, WA. I’ve been photographing weddings, families, events, and portraits for over 10 years. Photography has allowed me to meet amazing people and share in their happiest moments. Outside of photography, I enjoy exploring Seattle, spending time with family, and constantly learning something new.
My photography approach
I believe photography is about capturing genuine emotions, real connections, and authentic moments. My style is relaxed and natural — I love using natural light and creating a comfortable environment during shoots. You don’t have to worry about posing or looking perfect; just enjoy the moment, and I’ll take care of the rest. My goal is always to create meaningful photos you’ll cherish for years to come.
A bit more about me
I’m 28 years old and originally from Crimea, Ukraine — a beautiful region that actually reminds me a lot of Washington State with its stunning nature. I’ve been living in the U.S. for about 4 years now and honestly fall in love with this country more every day. I’ve traveled almost everywhere across the States (just four left on my list!).
I have a wonderful wife, a job I truly love (and still call my hobby), and an adorable cat. With that combo, life feels pretty amazing!
How I got into photography
My photography journey started around 2014. One evening, I picked up a camera, walked around my city, and just started capturing everything I saw. That’s how it all began! My first passion was street photography, and even now I still love heading out into the city to catch real-life moments unfolding around me.
From there, I taught myself photography, experimenting with different cameras, including film and discovering what I truly enjoy. I quickly realized my heart belongs to genuine, natural, and candid shots that show real emotions.
Between 2015 and 2021, I worked as an event photographer at “Geometria”, a media portal. Over those years, I’ve covered all kinds of events — from children’s birthday parties to huge concerts with thousands of attendees. That experience taught me to handle any kind of situation, from tricky lighting to unexpected moments, quickly and professionally.
What I love about my job
I love telling stories through my photos, discovering new locations, and meeting amazing people along the way. Working with people, capturing meaningful moments, and giving clients memories they’ll cherish for years — it’s incredibly rewarding. It means so much to me when someone looks at their photos and says, “Wow, I don’t even remember this moment, but it’s amazing!”
So, why photography?
It’s like magic. You literally freeze moments that matter to you most. My goal is to capture these moments beautifully, so you can relive them forever.
Photography is an art that keeps evolving. There’s always something new to learn, new styles to explore, and room for creativity. Each story is unique — I’d love the chance to show yours at its best.

Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Artur was incredibly helpful with helping my wife and I get great photos and couldn’t have been more professional. Highly recommend!
