Daniel Usenko / Daniel Usenko Photography
Daniel Usenko was born and raised in the former Soviet Union, coming to the United States at age eleven in hopes of a better life. Becoming a professional photographer was never a goal growing up; Daniel spent his college days studying fields completely opposite that of art - mathematics and philosophy, with the intention of attending a law school later. However, it was during those years when photography was a just a hobby that Daniel fell in love with the art. After graduation nothing made more sense than pursuing his passion - the law school plans paled in comparison with being a photographer - one of the best jobs in the world in Daniel's opinion. Studying the technicalities of mathematics and philosophy had a great impact on Daniel as a photographer too, however. The painstaking attention to detail carried over to not only capturing photographs, but also the other half of a photographer's life - post-production. Daniel spent hours upon hours studying Photoshop and how it can be used to enhance images. Countless books, internet articles, tutorials, and most importantly - thousands of hours of Photoshop work have made Daniel the photographer that he is now. That is why he is teaching post-production in this year's Floshops.
