Bio

I am from the windy city of Liepaja. I have had a passion for observing the world through the "eye of the camera" since I can remember - first in the eyes of a boy, and later in the heart of a mature man. As a child, developing pictures with my dad in the sheets and red-lit kitchen, I could not have imagined that the camera would eventually become my most grateful companion. I don't consider myself a professional. There are things I still have to learn. That's what I'm aiming for. I am passionate about both nature scenes and portraits of people. I am a member of the Liepāja People's Photography Studio "Fotast". I challenge myself to find my own signature, while sticking to classical values. I am a photography lover who loves to take pictures. I have various merits in photo competitions: 2019- Kurzeme Photo Days - Photography Award of the Year 2nd place. 2024- Kurzemes fotodienas - Photography Award of the Year 1st place. 2020- IS Silver Medal (UKRAINIAN) 2022- IS Silver Medal (LATVIA) 2023- IS Gold Medal (ERITREA), IS Bronze Medal (GEORGIA) IS Bronze Medal (CYPRUS), 9TH WOJNICZ IS Bronze Medal 2023- SONY "SIGN OF THE TIMES" Award 2024- IS Bronze Medal (UKRAINIAN), IS Bronze Medal (LATVIA), IS Silver Medal (GEORGIA), IS Silver Medal (MOLDOVA) GPU Silver Medal (CYPRUS), IS Gold Medal (CYPRUS) PSA Gold Medal (BULGARIA), IS Silver Medal (CYPRUS) National Gold Medal (Czech Republic) 2024- IIG/s Recognition Award (INDIA) 2024- Solo Exhibition "Stories of the Old Window".
