Evgeniy Maloletka is a Ukrainian independent photojournalist based in Kyiv, Ukraine, originally from the city of Berdiansk in the Zaporizhzhia region of eastern Ukraine. Before moving on to other work, he discovered photojournalism. Maloletka began his career in 2009 as a photographer for the local news agencies UNIAN and PHL. He worked for one month on a photographic project titled “House of Hope” for a pediatric cancer center in the capital, Kyiv. The photographs were auctioned at a charity event, helping raise $5,000 for sick children whose families could not afford treatment. Maloletka was actively involved in covering the Ukrainian revolution from the beginning, before moving on to cover the conflicts in Crimea and eastern Ukraine for various international media outlets. In addition, Maloletka also works on his own personal projects: the “Hutsul” project about the Hutsul community in western Ukraine, their traditions and daily life, and “Donbass” about the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, which brought grief to the families of killed civilians and soldiers, destroyed the economy, and caused chaos throughout the country. Maloletka graduated from Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in 2010 with a degree in electronics. In 2015, he was selected to participate in the Eddie Adams Workshop in New York. His work has been published in many prominent media outlets: TIME, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Der Spiegel, Newsweek, The Independent, El País, The Guardian, The Telegraph and others. He spent most of his time in eastern Ukraine on assignments for the Associated Press, also contributing video content. His footage was widely broadcast by BBC, Euronews, NBC and other international television networks.
