Publishers Intro… 
I met Anton Lyalin, a Russian photographer, a number of years ago while running a Phase One PODAS workshop.  It was an immediate friendship.
 I witnessed his growth as a photographer over many years and workshops together. Anton is a well-versed gentleman who owns and runs a number of steakhouses in Moscow.  (How could a steak-loving guy be anything but fun?)  He has a smile that stretches from ear to ear and is a very generous person.  At a workshop in Scotland he negotiated a purchase for a large bushel of fresh live crab.  He brought the crab back to the hotel and the chef prepared it that evening for an appetizer.
Anton gradually became more committed to his passion for photography.  He attended every top workshop he could and his photographic style took off.  Anton took many of the articles published on our site about photographic projects to heart and applied them on his trips to shoot the wildlife in Africa.  Over the last few years, after numerous trips the...

I started shooting when I was 10, and my grandpa was a professional portrait photographer doing studio portraits. So he took care of my first pics. There was no pressure, so I enjoyed every minute with my new camera. I did mostly photos of my classmates and friends. I was happy to capture a moment, emotions and joy of life. Since I grew up in Sochi, that was a fun place to enjoy my childhood. I think until now portraiture, wildlife portraiture and landscapes is what I care about the most. Memories of people I crossed with and places I traveled the world. Great memories of life, we live for well captured.
