Hello to everyone who is interested in where I studied, how long I've been filming, who I've worked with, where I've been and what I've achieved.
I am 44 years old, and I have been shooting since I was 11 years old, after watching my father shoot a lot, one day he gave me a camera with the words "now you are taking pictures in our family."
Then I reacted to it with wild delight and surprise that Dad had entrusted me with such a thing. And knowing the whole process of developing the film to the smallest detail, I "welded" the first two films with New Year's frames, making a mistake in the temperature of the developer by a couple of degrees :))
Yes, I started with a black-and-white film, in which there was no choice at all from the word. I took pictures of my friends, took pictures of my cats and dogs, took pictures of cars in Japanese catalogs and managed to sell these black-and-white photos at school. I was still living in the Tashkent region at that time. And many of my friends also studied photography, but they did not have a camera that my father entrusted to me. By the way, he began to do this in the service of the Navy and he shot huge rapid-fire military cameras on flying planes. At home, he had a Zenit-E camera. And it was thanks to her that this process was interesting and understandable for me, thanks to its capabilities.
In 92, my parents decided to move and move to Leningrad. I finished 7th grade at a school that was new to me in every sense. It was very difficult for me, but after three years I finally joined in.
In fact, I started learning about photography with reportage filming in clubs, and I would say these conditions are some of the most difficult, which served as an excellent school. It is worth recalling that this was still shooting on film! Plus, I received powerful feedback from the founders of club culture in St. Petersburg, consider it in the Country, and developed by leaps and bounds.
Much later, I tried to shoot with studio light and it was a real discovery for creativity and the realization of many ideas.
Work at the Dog publishing house.Ru contributed to the study of this area. After that, I was lucky enough to shoot a windsurfing festival in Egypt and I got acquainted with the filming of the sport. Of course, there was enough experience for such a shoot, but there were also nuances here. New requirements drove my technical development, and new technical capabilities allowed me to implement new ideas and expand my capabilities. Of course, all this shaped my vision, experience, versatility, and professionalism.
Now I can take up any shooting and offer to do it in the best possible way. Aerial photography has recently become in demand and the ability to see from a bird's-eye view has become a kind of drug.
Yachting photography could not pass me by, because I live in the maritime capital of Russia. A huge number of friends who are interested in yachting served as the shortest way for me to learn this field. And this is a hobby for me now, which I earn by relaxing.
Last year I had a symbolic event - the exhibition "Yachting is freedom" in the building that was built by Perth the Great! Have you been to my exhibition?
Of course, the clients have been different all the time. At first, I swallowed everything and didn't even pay attention to it, as I just studied and studied. Everything was new. But almost immediately I noticed that I was able to leave the customer satisfied. I watched a lot, watched who reacts in the process of shooting, what was said after, and so on. And with some experience behind me, I began to appreciate the respect of clients for me as a professional. It manifests itself in everything - from the moment of discussing the shooting, the financial side and ending with reviews. Over time, the clients were mostly people who appreciated me for my vision, style, and quality of work and were willing to pay for it. And now this feeling is a kind of rule for deciding whether to work with this person or not.
