Ilona Bugai

Ilona Bugai turned the everyday cares of family life into an exciting adventure in the world of photography. As a married mother of two children, Ilona discovered her passion for photography while on her second maternity leave. This period of her life became a time of discoveries and creative flourishing.

Immersing herself in the world of photography, Ilona found a source of inspiration that changed her life. At the beginning of her photographic journey, she often captured moments of her children, trying to immortalize every significant moment of their childhood. However, over time, her talent and style attracted the attention and respect not only of her loved ones but also of others.

Ilona does not limit herself to family photoshoots alone. She decided to turn her passion into a serious business by opening a small photo studio in Ukraine, where she continued to create vibrant and sensual images on demand. Her lens captured people with different stories and faces, but she particularly enjoys photographing children.

With the onset of war, Ilona decided to leave her homeland and moved to Germany with her children and mother. Here, she continued her creative pursuits, now as a hobby. In the new environment, she finds new sources of inspiration and broadens her horizons, all while maintaining genuine joy for photography.

Ilona doesn't just create beautiful images; she builds bridges between worlds, capturing moments of happiness and emotions. She continues to maintain her Instagram page, sharing her projects, family and children's photos, passing on her inspiration to others.

Ilona cannot live without her photography, so she takes photos whenever the opportunity arises, especially for those in need. Numerous pictures of the art group's excursions as well as the photo portraits of the artists for this website were taken by Ilona Bugai.

Her story serves as a reminder that passion and talent can transform our everyday lives into an exciting adventure. Ilona chose her life's calling - photography, and she continues to inspire others with her art and love for the beauty around her.
