Chris Sampson is a photographer, author, journalist and documentary maker in Kyiv. Since January 2022, he has been witness to the war and its impact on the people and capturing it through a series of photos, reports and videos for over two and half years.
I have been in Ukraine since January 2022 and it has been a most amazing experience on so many levels. The tremendous sadness of lives lost to an unprovoked war from Russia against the Ukrainian people is a daily experience. It doesn’t take much to remind the more peaceful areas of the country of the tragedy unfolding in the east. The country has a spirit you have to experience in person to understand fully. The deep kindness and generosity of spirit here will live with me forever.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the photos I’ve shared with you. I strive daily to find more creative compositional ideas to push my boundaries and feedback on the input of some brilliant minds who give me their input. If you are looking for a photographer or wish to purchase any photo here, drop me a message on the contact page. Signed photos are available for a reasonable printing fee.
PHOTOSTORY
There is truth to the saying, war is the betrayal of humanity. In Ukraine, the community buries their dead with grace, dignity and collective sense of loss.
The family, community, and press arrive daily at the Garrison Church of St. Apostles Peter and Paul in Lviv. The fallen are young soldiers in Ukraine’s fight for safety and their very existence.
