It is difficult to accept as the true, right now, but after my move to US, it was a difficult period of time in my life. We are always confronting with many difficulties in foreign countries – new culture, new language, and new people. As I mentioned earlier, I traveled a lot … but I was a tourist. I immigrated to US and this is absolutely different thing. After 3 years of constant worry, missing my friends, my family and “my life there, in Ukraine” I can say - I am happy now! It is true! Yes, I am still missing my friends, family and Kiev, but…. I am happy, because I live with my husband, I have the job of my dream and I met so many great people here! I am so thankful to them all.
So, as I said above it was not an easy time for me. I spent a ton of time while searching for models to build my portfolio. Before I started taking photographs of my friends, I captured many self-portraits.
I think it is always interesting to look back and realize how far you moved and how much you accomplished.
Here are several self-portraits I found in my archive:
