Love in the dark
Then I studied at the Faculty of Photojournalism (St.Petersburg, Russia) in 2012-2014. It taught me how to communicate with people before taking a picture. The most important thing I taught is to capture the moment when the conversation is over.
At the same time I already worked as a journalist and took a concert footage for different online magazines in 2012-2016. I also worked as an accredited photographer at such events like: FLOW festival in Helsinki, Finland (2014, 2015); Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain (2015, 2016); Aurora Fashion Week in Russia (2014) and European biennial of contemporary art Manifesta 10 in Russia (2014).
From 2017 I started my constant traveling around the world taking pictures. I took photos of different cities and people of different nationalities. Some of the locations included: Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, France and the US. 25 countries are already on my list.
Now I take pictures for weddings, do fashion and portrait photography and sometimes do reportages. But portraits are the main thing for me. My main goal is to capture true emotions of people and to reveal their essence.
My works has been featured in the magazines, such as Mordant, Vigour & PUMP.
I belong to the association of Fearless photographers since 2020.
