If you opened that page, then I assume my pictures interested you enough and now you want to find out a bit more about myself. I am going to tell you my short story and then about how I see the world, life and people through camera.

I began my photography adventure as a kid. I bought myself some simple analogue camera and due to lack of someone who could guide me towards this hobby, I let it go after few films I shot. As a kid I manage also to break my father’s good Russian analogue camera. That was it.

After many years I got back to photography again – this time I got myself into digital photography and the real story begins … in 2008.

Since then I learned the basics of photography and how to use and master my gear (I have chosen Pentax as my main system). The real development though, relates to how a photographer sees the world, so I thought carefully what elements should be my corner stones of my style. So, what really differentiate me from other photographers is:

– intuition – powerful means of seeing

– improvisation – I go with the flow although planning and structure helps to start

– composing – seeing picture before shutter release is pressed

– emotions – capturing emotions through natural behavior by establishing warm contact with my objects (people)

– cooperation – a great photo is a fruit of hard work of both – a photographer and an object (person)

– off-camera flash technique (strobing) – sometimes natural light isn’t good enough, hence strobing

The photographers I admire and learn from are: John McNally, David Hobby and Brian Peterson.
