For the first time in the UK, Leica Gallery London is proud to present works from Taras Bychko’s series Sykhiv, shot in Lviv, Ukraine in 2020, and Out of Time, taken throughout Ukraine between 2018-2020.

Beginning his professional life as a legal advisor, Ukrainian photographer Taras Bychko’s career path dramatically changed when he purchased a camera following the birth of his first child. Since then, Bychko has developed a photographic style to lie somewhere between documentary and fine art images, being represented through both black & white and colour film.

Now living and working in the UK, Taras Bychko is the author of two books: Sykhiv (Lviv, 2020) and Two rooms (Lviv, 2021). Since 2021, he has been working as a curator of photo projects at the Lviv Art Centre. He is also the recipient of several prizes within the last decade. His work has been published globally in The Guardian, LFI, Burn Magazine, National Geographic, Lens Culture, Fisheye Magazine, and other publications.
