BIO
VISUAL ARTS  HAVE FORMED MY ENVIRONMENT SINCE I WAS A CHILD. MY MOTHER IS A FASHION DESIGNER
AND MY FATHER WAS A COSMETIC SURGEON. I STUDIED ARTS, & ARCHITECTURE BUT FINALLY GRADUATED
FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL AND PRACTICED AS A COSMETIC AND IMPLANTOLOGY MAXILLO FACIAL SURGEON.
MY PASSION FOR TRAVEL LED ME TO WESTERN CANADA WHERE I DECIDED TO COMPLETELY SWITCH MY PATH
AND STUDIED ARTS AND PHOTOGRAPHY AT ECIAD, VANCOUVER AND IN TWO YEARS  LEFT CANADA TO EUROPE.
I SPENT ANOTHER THREE YEARS IN AUSTRIA AND CROATIA WHERE I BECAME FULL TIME FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER.
UPON MY RETURN TO MOSCOW I COULD NOT FIND ENOUGH AIR TO INSPIRE ME AND LEFT TO SOUTH AFRICA, CAPE TOWN.
I  SPENT  ANOTHER THREE YEARS THERE, HAD MY FIRST CHILD BORN THERE AND SECOND IN MOSCOW.

AND NOW ME AND MY FAMILY SPLIT OUR TIME BETWEEN MOSCOW AND CAPE TOWN

AND TRAVEL AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND WHENEVER WE CAN.
I LOVE SHOOTING LIFESTYLE, KIDS AND PORTRAITURE ALWAYS TRYING TO BRING THE ATMOSFERE OF IMPROVISATION AND
CINEMATOGRAPHIC LOOK IN MY WORK. AT THE MOMENT I AM EXPANDING MY EXPERIENCE INTO CINEMATOGRAPHY AND
AM PLANNING TO DIRECT FULL FEATURE MOVIES IN THE NEAREST FUTURE. I SEEK INSPIRATION IN TRAVEL, PRACTICING YOGA
AND CHI  QUONG, FREE DIVING  AND WAVE SURFING AND CERTAINLY DEDICATING ALL MY LOVE TO MY FAMILY!
