How and when did you get into photography?

I have been doing photography since 2010, from 2011 already with knowledge in this area. I passed 3 stages of study at the School of Photography Roman Rybaleov.

What does photography mean to you?

Photography for me is life it is like a breath of air every time I take a camera. I like to show the world through my own perception. I like to enthrall people in new adventures in self-awareness or the development of new sides.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

Favorite photography genres: portraits, fashion. I can’t single out one style in photography, it depends on the shooting, but people say that my style is traced in the works.

Where do you get inspiration from?

I am inspired by fairy tales and people. Sometimes things can inspire you to create an image or an idea.

Think you in advance what you want in the picture?

In my works, I either show the inner world of a person or bring him out of the comfort zone.

Studio, on location or both?

Both

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

I think that if a specialist is paid money for his work, he can be considered a professional. I also shoot a lot of non-commercial projects.

What has been your most memorable session and why?

Each photo session is remembered by something special. But more often the most memorable when they are accompanied by adventures.

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
