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. His work has been shown in more than 300 exhibitions across the world. 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.
