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.

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.
