In 2006, he studied visual journalism at Western Washington University and became deeply interested in multimedia storytelling. After finishing his degree, Semenyuk returned to Ukraine to work as a multimedia producer at Worldwide News, Ukraine's English-language publication. In 2018, he relocated to Los Angeles to work as a cinematographer and filmmaker. Since then, he has filmed several documentaries and features, including "Outside," where he served as director of photography.
Following Russia’s full-scale invasion, Semenyuk reconnected with long-time colleague Roman Zajac to film “Wounded Land”, which chronicles how Ukrainian vintners and farmers are producing during wartime.
