I don’t searching for perfect — I searching for real. 

Sometimes that means the wind gets in, or the dirt stays where it is. Sometimes it’s the moment after everyone else stopped shooting. My work just follows instinct, light, and honesty.

 I care less about control and more about what it feels like to be there. 

 I was born in Moscow and grew up between pine trees, mosquito bites, and campfire smoke. Summers meant rivers, tents, and silence. That’s where my love for the outdoors started — not as a concept, but as a way of living. 

 I studied cinema in Italy and design in Russia, which shaped how I see and how I build images. Then learned to shape light at the White Photo School in Moscow. And light has always been my favorite material to work with — natural or artificial, as long as it behaves. 

Today, I work where nature and storytelling meet.

I’m part of The Outdoor Lab, and I lead the outdoor division at Aura Studio, where we explore how body, space, and landscape interact.
