life Photographer
My passion for photography began in childhood. My father is a painter, and years ago he was also a climber who traveled a lot through the Caucasus Range with a camera. He shared many enthralling stories about his adventures and the people who were deeply fascinated by nature. These stories were accompanied by breathtaking pictures of mountains and his companions. He taught me how to handle a Soviet-era camera, and every film-developing session felt like magic. Working with chemicals under red light, watching an image slowly emerge on photographic paper in the developing tray—it was always an exhilarating experience.
As I grew older, alongside photography, I studied graphic design and worked for about fifteen years on design and video presentations for architectural and industrial projects in Moscow, including aerial photography. Later, I graduated from the Faculty of Cultural Studies at the Russian State University for the Humanities, and I am currently continuing my academic journey at Lomonosov Moscow State University.
I am involved in the work of charitable foundations and cultural events. Techno music and related culture resonate with my long-standing interest in industrial photography.
I'm especially drawn to reportage photography. I strive to capture living scenes from the real life—people’s character, dignity, and essence, or simply my personal perception of them—revealing our nature without drawing attention to myself.
I love nature, people, books, sports and the pursuits that shape my life.
