Biography

I was born in Russia, in 1977. When I turned seven years old my family moved to Kiev, Ukraine. In 2005 I moved to the United States, and I currently reside in Buffalo, NY. Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. Currently, my primary focus is digital art, glamour,wedding photography,although my projects and interests are broad and constantly evolving.I like to ensure that the creative approach is taken to illustrate every image. A certain level of intuition must also be exercised and I always try to think through my entire portfolio. This includes but is certainly not limited to creating costumes, adding the respective accessories and details; which are later digitally processed using photo manipulation. Often by changing the background, drawing new elements or details, I incarnate my fantasies through the pictures. I shoot primarily digital Canon 5D and film using a Medium Format Mamiya 645 AFD(6x4) field camera. I am looking for opportunities and offers for any interesting projects in which I can contribute my knowledge, skills, and creativity.
