Loved painting when I was a kid and really wanted to go to the art school. But at that time above all I wanted to go to the Olympics as a figure skater. Trained in Olympic school in Russia, so I had to dedicate all of my time to train. Bought first film camera when I was 20. But seriously started to learn how to photograph in 2012, when all I did is watched Creative live, where as many, found Sue. Sue, no doubt, my mane source of learning and inspiration. Had first child in 2013, then another one 2015. Have a home studio where almost all of the 2nd floor is my studio. Horrible at juggling life and "work", and for some reason work almost always wins. Love learning and creating and will never stop.
