Andriichuk has been professionally engaged in photography for more than 10 years.
Among all genres, her favourite one is nude photography, because, as she believes, it is the best way to come closer to a person’s soul. Due to her active creative position, participation in various photo projects, contests, and exhibitions, Andriichuk is well-known not only in Ukraine, but also abroad.
Andriichuk had participated in the “Plasticity of Motion” photo exhibition that had taken place in the Tenri Cultural Institute Gallery, New York, in 2019. Her art project was presented in the Photo Kyiv Fair 2017.
In 2013, her personal exhibition “1+1” was held in Macedonia, and she became a jury member in an international competition in that country. Andriichuk won the first prize and was awarded with a gold medal in the ‘Nude’ section in the Austrian photo competition Trierenberg Super Circuit 2011. Her photo works were published in the limited Trierenberg Super Circuit Luxury Edition of 2011.
She was awarded a silver medal in the same competition in 2009. Andriichuk also held a personal photo exhibition called “Soul Flying” in that year.
Andriichuk took part in a project in WANDERgallery in Salzburg, Austria in 2010 and was recognized by PSY (Photographic Society of America)
in 2009. Her photo works are kept in private collections around the world. She is currently working as a commercial photographer, filmmaker and creative designer with internationally-known companies and magazines, continuing her personal art projects.

“I love black and white photography. No color makes a photograph a truly pure revelation to me. I believe it is only achieved when you take away all distracts and focus on the core message. My only reason to choose this or that photo is that it has to have some kind of intensity and storytelling. In photography, we call it ‘punctum’, something that attracts your attention and makes it memorable. I insert a very strong concentration of energy in every shot so that it is a reflection of my authenticity.
Ideas usually come up to me in the process of shooting, as an improvisation, but sometimes I have something in mind and then look for models that are able to make it happen.
I believe we are multidimensional, limitless creatures, and that our souls are in a constant struggle for freedom from our bodies – because they feel and know our limitless potential and abundance of the existing world.
Being an artist, to me, means to prove and create this reality too, and for, me”.
