My name is Yevhen Samuchenko (creative nickname Q-lieb-in). I am a  travel photographer from Ukraine, and artist of the International Federation Photographic Art (AFIAP).

Photography is an important part of my life. I travel a lot, and  camera is a my constant companion. Shooting nature and travel and street scenes, but most of all I was attracted Night Scenes. I conduct group Night photography master-classes in and individual Workshops for night shooting on location.

Night photos I like for its slow pace - you can break away from the bustle of the day, and because of the long exposure shooting process does not interfere with the contemplation of the starry sky. Watching the magnificent night sky, you feel like a single particle of the Universe. Most of all I love trekking and shooting in Himalayas mountains. It’s realy beautiful place – you can see bright Roerich paints right in real nature in sunset or sunrise, and enjoy clear starry sky at night.  

Besides, I am a finalist and winner of various international photo contests and photo salons. My works was published in magazines, books and/or online versions of these publishers and media: N-Photo, Bruckmann Publisher, BBC news, CNN, National Geographic, Yahoo news, Story Terrace, BuzzFeed, UNESCO official website, and others. My photographs were awarded a lot of medals and prizes, including 3 FIAP Gold medal, IPA silver, HIPA Merit medal. My photos was exhibited at UK (London), United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Ukraine, USA and other countries. I open to any form of creativity and cooperation.
