MIKHAIL PALINCHAK   Ukrainian photographer Palinchak Mikhail, a member of the European union of professional photographers and an artist of the international federation of photographic art (AFIAP) has over the past 15 years displayed his work in more than 300 exhibitions in the USA, England, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, and France. He’s even exhibited at the prestigious Royal Photographic Society. He is the winner of countless prizes and awards. Mikhail Palinchak was born in 1959 in Uzhgorod, Ukraine. Photography became his passion at the age of 12. Most of his craft has been self-taught from journals available in the old USSR. He works as a professional photojournalist for a regional newspaper. He specializes in portrait and landscapes. He has a strong attraction to capturing the mystery, puzzle and beauty of women, particulary by setting his subject up in opposition to the forces of nature, both as he puts it, creations of God. Palinchak works as a photojournalist, but devotes much of his spare time to art photography. He has a special preference for the nude, finding it the most challenging to convey the beauty, the passion, and the mystery of humanity that he seeks to express with his work. It is a beautiful portfolio and Palinchak looks to become one the world’s most prominent art photographer’s.
