War, Minimalism & Meaning: A Conversation with Ukrainian Photographer Serhii Diedushev
Manage episode 504833261 series 3317535
In this episode of The Visual Storytelling Podcast, I sit down with Ukrainian photographer Serhii Diedushev to explore his poetic approach to photography, shaped by minimalism, arthouse cinema, and the realities of war in his home country.
I was personally left speechless by how Serhii manages to create such meaningful and timeless art while war rages at his very doorstep.
We talk about:
The impact of the war in Ukraine on his documentary work
Why storytelling and meaning matter more than technical perfection
His passion for film photography, darkroom work, and gear (yes, plenty of Leica talk!)
How social media and AI are reshaping photography today
Advice for aspiring photographers on slowing down, noticing light, and creating work with depth

Serhii’s images don’t just capture moments — they make you feel and think. This is a conversation about art, resilience, and the power of photography to connect us across borders.
