Work History
Photostudio Owner
ROOF photostudio
Cherkasy, Ukraine
02.2019 - 04.2023
- The idea to establish a photo studio arose because my wife owns a women's clothing brand called ASOME, and we were constantly producing a lot of content. We used to regularly rent various studios, but none of them were ideal. That's when we decided to create our own space and share it with others. We developed an art space specifically for creative individuals who could rent it by the hour to generate content for their social media, businesses, and families.
- We found a suitable space in early 2019 and opened it in the summer of 2019
- I have extensive knowledge in the field of professional lighting equipment, which I have successfully applied in our photo studio. Specifically, I sought a space surrounded by windows to ensure abundant natural light, making it easier to work with, as not all photographers are proficient in artificial lighting. Additionally, we have a variety of artificial lighting setups, with which the studio administrator always assists in handling.
- The photo studio operated successfully, generating a steady income, and each year saw an increase in clients until it was sold in the summer of 2023.
