About me
I was born near Lake Baikal in Irkutsk, Russia, a place of vast silence and wild nature. My photography began there, during long hikes through Siberian landscapes, where I first noticed the quiet power of light, shadow, and stillness.
In 2010, I moved to the UK, and my work slowly evolved, shaped by new places, new cultures, and a deeper curiosity about human connection.
Today, I am based in Solihull, England, working as a commercial photographer and an Iyengar yoga teacher. My photography explores the meeting point between people and nature, softness and strength, presence and vulnerability.
I am drawn to what feels honest. A fleeting expression. The way light touches skin. The atmosphere of a moment that cannot be repeated.
I no longer chase perfection or competition. Photography, for me, is a quiet, intuitive process. Something closer to meditation than performance.
My hope is to create images that feel alive, grounded, and true, and to offer others a glimpse of the beauty I see in the world.

What defines my work
My photography is guided by presence, intuition, and emotional awareness.
I’m drawn to natural moments, subtle movement, and quiet honesty. I know when to gently guide, and when to step back, allowing things to unfold in their own time.
People often tell me they feel calm and truly seen. I believe this comes from approaching every session with care, softness, and genuine connection.
If you feel drawn to this kind of work, I would love to create something with you.
I’m grateful that my work has been recognised within the local community.
Alongside my commissioned portrait work, I create long-form photographic projects through Artistic Discovery. These sessions sit between portraiture and fine art, shaped by conversation, intuition, and shared vision.
