I 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 my time to training. I bought my first film camera when I was 20, but started to learn how to photograph in 2012, when all I did was watch Creative live, where as many of us, I "found" Sue. Sue, no doubt, my main source of learning and inspiration. Had first child in 2013, then another one 2015. In 2023 build my own photography studio. Horrible at juggling life and "work", and for some reason work almost always wins. I love learning and creating and will never stop.
