Roman Krawczenko

Roman Krawczenko is a photographer, historian, journalist, and instructor. He has been running the Photography Studio of Workshops of Culture since 2015, which is located in the beautiful city centre of Lublin and named after the Hartwig family. During his time in Poland, Roman has developed his own unique photographic technique called lublintone. This technique is a combination of four historical photographic techniques: wet plate collodion, ambrotype, verre eglomise, and orotone. Roman first exhibited his works in this technique at the Festival of Analogue Photography in Barcelona in May 2016. He is passionate about sharing his knowledge and skills with young Polish photographers, and his efforts have contributed to the emergence of a new school of photography in Poland. As a resident of Crimea, Roman also served as an informal ambassador of Polish culture. He organized an exhibition on Adam Mickiewicz and the Crimean Sonnets in Bakhchysarai and conducted outdoor workshops for Polish photographers. Roman’s photographs have been published in The Wet Plate Collodion Day Book (2009), which showcases the works of 51 photographers from 13 countries on 3 continents.
