What the lamp sees

A surgeon bends over the table beneath two operating lamps, seen through a blurred drip line.
Gloved hands hold a retractor, forceps and a scalpel at a small incision.
Close view of an hourglass with a thin thread of falling sand.
A woman in a surgical mask and hood looks away, her face emerging from black.

The lamps go on

Everyone in the room works inside one circle of light. Everything outside it falls away, and the photographs keep that darkness.

Hands, then tools

Gloves, a retractor, forceps, a blade. From the surgeon's side of the table the work is close, slow and exact.

The hours

An operation keeps its own clock. Much of what happens in the room is patience, and the sand does not hurry.

Above the masks

A mask leaves only the eyes. These are the people patients rarely remember, because they meet them just before going to sleep.

Dr Roman Denysenko

Roman Denysenko is an ENT and plastic surgeon in Kyiv, and the fourth generation of his family to practise medicine. He took architecture courses before choosing medicine, and says his father taught him to love art.

He trained at Bogomolets National Medical University, interned at Kyiv's Oleksandrivska Clinical Hospital and spent four years in its emergency ENT unit. He then moved into facial plastic surgery under Professor Vasyl Khrapach, and today operates at Denysenko Clinic in Kyiv.

Photography is his hobby. He takes the camera to the place he knows best, then gives away what the pictures earn.

Before you buy

What am I buying?

A numbered archival pigment print on matte cotton paper, signed by the photographer, in a limited edition. Every print is a 45 × 55 cm sheet with a window cut to that photograph, up to 30 × 40 cm. Take it framed, in a box with a certificate, or rolled in a tube. There is also a digital version: a high-resolution file sent by email, not part of the numbered edition.

Does the whole price really go to charity?

Yes. You pay the foundation directly by bank transfer, 100% of the proceeds go to help children in Ukraine, and the total raised is published on this page.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer. Place your order and you will see the foundation's account details and your order number. We prepare the print once the transfer arrives.

Are the photographs retouched for this shop?

No. The frames and the table you see on this site are drawn around the photographs. The pictures themselves are shown as the photographer finished them.

Where do you ship?

Worldwide. Framed prints travel in a box, the others rolled in a tube. Delivery takes about two weeks, and the digital file comes by email.

Some pictures show surgery. Is that a problem?

These are real operating-theatre photographs, including bare skin, breasts, wounds and incisions. Nothing here is staged for shock, but please look before you hang one in a shared room.

Hang one. Help a child.
