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.
