Bondarenko works in pinhole style about 10 years and says that this is a different philosophy of photography and always unpredictable result, and each work is connected with some interesting story.
-Once, I was trying to take a picture of Christmas tree, got my camera and aroused great interest among policemen,- remembers Andrei. – So, I had to prove them for a long time that this suspicious thing is camera.
