I'm a photographer, Odessa, Ukraine native, lover of life... and food.

 

Growing up, I can't recall a moment when my father's camera wasn't in his hand. He'd always take photos of my brother and I and develop them in a small area of the house that he turned into a dark room. You can say he's my inspiration for dabbling in the craft.

 

Over the last 10 years I've explored and photographed a number of subject matters, but nothing comes close to my magnetism to photographing people. Whether it's a stylized shoot, candid moments of loved ones, or people strolling down the street. I love it all.

Photography challenges me to step outside my comfort zone, encourages me to welcome defeat so that I can continue to learn and grow as a creative and as a person. Most importantly, it gives me the ability to interact with individuals from all walks of life, clients and strangers alike.
