I was born in Murmansk, in the north of Russia. In 2004, I moved to Moscow, where I built a successful career in the insurance business. However, by 2008, I realised that visual arts attracted me much more, and I chose to pursue filmmaking and photography. I’ve collaborated with Russian offices of major brands like Adidas, Mercedes-Benz, KIA, Ford, and Venta, managing projects from concept to post-production. In 2016, at the invitation of the state organisation Business Oulu, I made a short documentary series about the region's economy and the Oulu startup factory, expanding my international experience. My creative journey led me into cinema, where I entered my short film in the ATLANTIS/CINEMA FIESTA international film festival in 2020. For years, I worked with a Moscow architectural studio, photographing luxury real estate. In 2022, I was honoured to be ranked among the Top 50 Photographers and Top 35 Male Portrait photographers in the International Photography Competition, out of 124,827 participants from 174 countries.
