MYPH
The School of Conceptual and Art Photography MYPH was founded in 2018 by Sergey Melnichenko in Mykolaiv. Over the past six years, more than 300 students have graduated from MYPH, and an active community of alumni has formed, which currently includes more than 100 authors in Ukraine and abroad.
The main focus of the MYPH is to deepen the understanding of contemporary conceptual and art photography. During the study, Sergey Melnichenko, with invited lecturers, shares his artistic experience with students, methods of promotion, and career development in art.
Since 2018, the MYPH has organized and participated in more than forty projects: exhibitions, festivals, and fairs in Ukraine, Poland, Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands, the USA, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and others. A large number of works by students of the MYPH are in prestigious private collections outside Ukraine.
