Country: Russia 🇷🇺
Born 3rd april 1988 in Moscow, Russia.
I have been passionate about photography ever since I turned 18 - exactly on that birthday I got my first photo camera as a gift from my parents and immediately decided to enroll in a photography school to get a deep understanding of the process as taking pictures in the „automatic“ mode seemed to me too easy and boring.
I have a degree in human resources management and have worked in the field for many years. My job was in the office but my heart was being the camera. Back then I was photographing only as a hobby, until at 26 I have decided to pursue my passion professionally. I have been accepted to Moscow State University to the Faculty of Photojournalism and Mass Media Technologies, where I have produced a thesis on „The Characteristics of the Chiaroscuro Patterns in Contemporary Photojournalism“. I loved working as a photographer, and needed increasingly more time for that. As I progressed with the faculty research, I realized that it was grounding me in my creative expression, and taking time from what I wanted to do most - actually make photos. I made a choice in favor of practical development, photography became my main occupation.
In seven years of devoting myself fully to the art I have participated in a number of advanced trainings on practical photography and history of art and culture, courses in photography psychology and phototherapy, and took part in several master classes of some of my favorite artists.
I have always been drawn to genre black-and-white photography, street-photography and people’s stories. At the end of 2019 I dove into the world of the art of nude and it consumed me. It inspired me more than any other photoshoots I have been doing then, the savageness and yet the purity of it. Since then I specialize in nude and black-and-white photography.
Several of my works have been awarded with prizes in Russian competitions and oftentimes published in foreign magazines. I never stop polishing my skill and developing myself, being inspired by the classic A-listers of photography as well as contemporary artists.
