‘The Prisoner With an Apple’ – Vitalii Yurasov on His ‘Historic’ Photos and Zelensky’s Signature

Vitalii Yurasov, a Ukrainian documentary photographer, has held his first personal exhibition, “The Warface Project”, in Kyiv on Oct. 15-21. His photos were auctioned, raising almost UAH 2.7 million ($73,000) for foundations and the Armed Forces.

Yurasov has documented prisoner exchanges, been on the scene after an attack in Kyiv, and captured historic moments like the making of the trident emblem for the Motherland monument in Kyiv, a significant project for Ukraine’s identity.

He’s considering exhibitions abroad after successfully holding this one in Kyiv. Find out more about his year-and-a-half journey as a war photographer in a Kyiv Post exclusive interview.
