Since April 2022, Stephan has been documenting the war in Ukraine. These pictures highlight pivotal moments and the harsh realities of a prolonged and brutal conflict—a conflict that nearly claimed Stephan’s life to a Russian sniper in Bakhmut in April 2023 while he chronicled the heroism of Ukrainian forces.



Picture 1: A Ukrainian girl dances before a Banksy mural on a charred building in Bucha, bombed by Russian forces. The mural, a stark contrast to the devastation, speaks to the enduring spirit of the people.
