The dreamlike and colourful world in which she transports the spectator revolves around myths, legends, and fairytales, which she revisits in a contemporary context. Differentiating her work from that of reportage photography, she leaves very little to chance and decides to invent a story for each new composition. Maryna Khomenko began her photography career in 2009 by testing various image treatments using the retouching software Photoshop.
