Born in the southern region of Russia, specifically in Krasnodar, I embarked on my journey in the world of photography and filmmaking. From 2004 to 2008, I pursued my education in public relations while simultaneously honing my skills as a journalist and photographer in various magazines.
In 2008, I successfully completed my photography program, culminating in the project titled "Two of Us," and also had the privilege of participating in the exhibition for young artists in Krasnodar known as "Etcetera."
The following year, in 2009, I showcased my project at the Fotovisa festival exhibition. In 2010, I received an invitation to participate in the First Biennale of the Russian Museum, with my work featured in the museum catalog.
In the same year, I relocated to St. Petersburg, where I became a self-directed student in the Department of Cinematography at the St. Petersburg University of Cinema and Television. Throughout my studies, I produced numerous documentaries and worked as a freelance photographer for magazines such as "Paper" and "Insider News," in addition to pursuing personal projects. Between 2013 and 2014, I also served as a visual installation cameraperson at the Alexandrinsky Theater for the production of "Nevsky Prospekt."
In 2015, I began my academic journey at the Film and Television Academie in Berlin. During my time there, I honed my skills in both documentary and fictional filmmaking. My studies provided me with valuable experience in working with 16mm and 35mm film materials, mastering film lighting techniques, and achieving predetermined results through the development process.
In 2019, I participated in a seminar focused on the development, scanning, and color grading of materials at the Hungarian Film Laboratory in Budapest.
My primary specialization lies in working with 16mm and 35mm film materials, allowing me to create captivating visual experiences.
