Oxana Guryanova is a freelance photographer and artist based in Cologne. She specializes in portrait and documentary photography and, in her personal projects, she deeply engages with socially critical, cultural, and political issues. These include personal projects on migration challenges, discrimination, questions of identity, as well as reflections on the global political situation and its perception in society.
Guryanova works in both digital and analog formats and is always open to experimental approaches. One example is remote photography, which she has successfully used in projects such as “In the space between times” and “Mothers in lockdown.” In addition to her photographic work, she leads photography workshops, with a particular focus on mobile photography. These workshops are aimed at adults as well as children and teenagers.
In 2022, she joined Index.kollektiv, a collective of six documentary photographers dedicated to social topics. Together, the collective has organized several exhibitions, including “Volume I” at the cultural center Depot in Dortmund. Guryanova is also commissioned for portrait and reportage assignments. Her most recent project, conceived as a photobook, has been nominated for the 2024 German Photobook Award.
