Photography begins with people
I look for character, connection and unguarded moments. Sessions are relaxed, with conversation, observation and gentle guidance so you can settle in and be yourself.
Faces of My Small Homeland brings together portraits and personal stories from the Komi-Permyak region. The exhibition runs from 24 October to 7 November 2026 at the Moscow House of Nationalities, Moscow, Russia. Visit the Exhibition page for details.
Portfolio
Individual portraits, families, couples and pets, alongside personal documentary projects. Explore the galleries for a sense of the people, places and stories I photograph.
Your photography session
An individual portrait, time together as a family, or photographs as a couple — we will start with what matters to you.
You do not need any posing experience. I will help you choose a setting and offer gentle guidance throughout. Visit Services for packages, prices and practical details.
Publications and personal projects
My photographs have been published on PhotoVogue, Vogue’s photography platform. My work has also been recognised in themed competitions at the international 35AWARDS photography awards. I develop personal projects about memory, family and human stories.
