About me

 

I was born in Leningrad, Russia in 1972.

In 1995  graduated the Economy Faculty of the State St.Petersburg University.

From 2009 I started to occupy with photography. During next three years I studied at different photo-schools, took part in the workshops of such art-photographers as Nadia Kuznetzova, Andrei Chezhin, Alexander Chernogrivov.

 

There is a lot of naked body in my works. However, body for me is not a source of aesthetic pleasure but an object of my research.

It is a body, naked, unclothed, that can tell a lot about its owner. Every year I notice more and more often that shapes, lines, skin, their combinations are all components of the encrypted code that can reveal character and fate of a person.

Through photography, I try to convey to the viewer the mysteries I have unraveled.
