I was born in Moscow, Russia, but was always fascinated with traveling and meeting new cultures. After several years in Vienna, Austria, I decided to move to Paris, France, and study professional photography.
Before making this choice I started career in history of art.
These days I work on different long-term projects, mostly concentrated on fine-art and documentary photography.
Camera helps me to observe the world around and to keep in time people, beauty and happy moments.
