Bohdan Kinashchuk

Bohdan Kinashchuk is a Ukrainian cinematographer and Director of Photography (DOP) known for his work in documentary features, independent short films, and international field journalism. His most prominent feature project is the 2022 documentary Eurodonbas, directed by Kornii Hrytsiuk, which examines the 19th-century European industrial roots and architecture of eastern Ukraine prior to the Soviet era. Kinashchuk’s visual documentation captured the urban landscapes of cities like Mariupol and Lysychansk shortly before the 2022 full-scale escalation, with the completed film premiering at the FilmFestival Cottbus. Alongside this central project, his filmography includes independent short films such as Looks Like Home (2016) and Goodbye, Sveta (2020), as well as a background in newsgathering, where he spent several years working with Zaborona Media and filming field reports for European broadcasters like the Dutch program Nieuwsuur.
