Creating content that lives
Everything is a story. We encounter stories every day, both visual and verbal. Some stories leave us indifferent, while others sparkle and remain unforgettable. Why is that? Perhaps because something is either present or missing. It could be the idea, the visual appeal, the tonality, the flow, or maybe it's about the human touch or a special spirit. A compelling story has the power to transport you - that's what you won't easily forget.
What I can do for you
  • High quality photography
    Creative imagery enhances your products and activities. I craft stories with a vibrant flow that captures attention. You can see the variety of styles in the Galleries section.
  • Structured copywriting, interviews, any other texts
    Very often, you need not just images but the entire story, complete with headlines, captions, and text, and I am a fan of creating those. You can see the examples of Quickgold or Portraits of Independence, a commission of EDA Switzerland, Swiss Cooperation Office Great Lakes/Burundi.
  • Production of websites, books, videos
    Sometimes, a single individual is not sufficient, and I am accustomed to functioning as a hub connecting creative individuals with their business clients. In this way, I act in the client's best interest while fully harnessing the creativity of the team.
  • Hosting, moderation
    For both creative and business meetings, whether online or offline, I have extensive experience in hosting events and serving as a moderator.
It takes a split second to realize that your images are not working, but it takes years to make them work.
What is unique about my experience
20+ years in communication
& 20+ years in photography and visual arts
Vision

Experience

Your story is never a standalone, it is a part of a bigger concept.
Details
As I create texts & images myself, I look into detail to create a deep impression.
Images
I shoot images that talk, be it portraits, landscapes or daily life scenes.
Texts
Press-releases, websites, interviews - any text you may need.
My strengths
Business meets art
  • Visual storytelling
    Even a single photo tells a story. Take a look at my narrative on illegal gold mining in Peru captured in a classical photojournalism style. Explore stories from Russian Lapland, or watch a documentary film about artists in the age of AI, filmed at Ars Electronica, one of the largest tech festivals in Europe, and produced under my curatorship.
  • Intercultural communication
    While working in different countries, I have gathered experience with local cultures and people. I enjoy embracing these new impressions and sharing them in a positive way. Sometimes, subtle differences play a crucial role in both visual and verbal communication.
  • Photography
    Since 1999, when I first started photography, I have been capturing a wide range of subjects: people, events, portraits, cars, products, concerts, landscapes, industrial scenes, and many others. I work in both color and black-and-white, using film and digital formats. Over a hundred of my photographs from various projects are included in the collection of the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow, and in private collections.
  • Production in various media
    In my career, I have produced longreads, books, exhibitions, and films, gaining extensive experience in connecting business with creative teams to achieve optimal results. Often, business and creative individuals speak different languages, and having experience in both realms, I am able to bridge the gap between them.
  • Copywriting
    Unlike many photographers, I have always been a fan of text, as it adds additional meaning to the pictures and shapes communication. For any multimedia projects, texts are invaluable.
  • Foreign languages
    Since childhood, I have been a fan of foreign languages, regularly practicing English, German, French, and Russian. Languages always provide me with an opportunity for a more direct connection with my subjects, a more human touch, and more valuable communication.
