SOPHIE TICHONENKO

I am a Photojournalist and Visual storyteller focusing on portraits, documentary photography, and long-term stories. 

My work revolves around marginalized groups and their struggles, current socio-politically relevant issues, and questions of identity. Combining my sociological background with photography allows me to look at these issues in detail and embed them in a larger context.
