Hello, I`m professional portrait photographer based in Moscow, Russia. Mostly I do photographs of weddings and other important occasions, portfolio pictures of people for personal and business needs. I m open to any kind of fashion projects. Since 2003 I have been photographer at more then 300 wedding and about 40 of them were destination. I am listed in a Top-20 best photographers at russian photographer communitywww.mywed.ru with more then 8000 members.
As this website is more about weddings I would like to describe my approach. I try to combine photojournalistic style photos with natural posed photographs of the couple. Usually I work in Russia, but do a lot of destination weddings all around the world. I m in love with weddings and engagements abroad, as if we have a lot more time for creative wedding photography next day.
Please, read Interview with me at the russian wedding photo community website from December, 2011.

As about me: I m 29. Love music, movies, good food, sleeping on my pillow. Love to travel to off-beaten track places, cant live without freeride snowboarding, windsurfing and kite. I ve visited about 45 beautiful countries and hope to explore more. This unique feeling of new places gives me lots of positive emotions and keeps my work forward.
