Igor Martiniouk is a Ukrainian-American photographer based in New York. Earlier this year, Igor graduated from the Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism Program at the International Center for Photography, where he captured the resilience of Ukrainian youth in his long-term project, DIA/spora. DIA/spora was featured in the ICP student exhibition “Look Up.” Before that, he received a bachelor’s in history at Vassar College where he focused on conflict, colonization and media production. In addition to his own photography work, Igor curated and opened three exhibits, “Ukraine Before and After February 24th,” “Glory to the Heroes” and “Unbreakable,” where he collaborated with award-winning photographers such as Oksana Parafeniuk, Nicole Tung and Andriy Dubchak to bring awareness to the ongoing Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. During his studies, Igor documented student life for his school’s communication department and was the photo editor at the student-run paper, the Miscellany News.
