I have been involved in the creativity for a long time, to be exact – from about five years old. My first one-person exhibition (drawing exhibition) took place when I was 12. As now I am over 50, I had enough time to think over the nature of creativity, of art, of photography, of the place which all these kinds of activity take in our life. And, in spite of the fact I have tried working in different spheres of creativity, I have been occupied with photography for more than 25 years. In the middle of this time period electronic engineering institute was added to my creative life (I graduated from this institute and even worked as an engineer for some time). But then I understood this work was not my vocation.

 

I began working actively in the sphere of photography in 1980. I have never limited myself by certain scope, conventionalities, traditions, which are very numerous in photography. I always experiment a lot: with myself – while taking photographs, with the spectators – while showing them. These experiments are not the attempt to show my originality, but a special internal need in development and movement forward.

 

I consider a creative process to be the most important manifestation of human nature. Creativity is a process of harmonization of the visual environment at all its levels – physical, moral, energetic. While creating works of art in any form of creativity, a person develops spiritually himself/herself and through the results of his/her creativity influences the people who have the art of creativity understanding.

 

The main purpose of my work in the sphere of photography is finding out a sensual component but not the formal one. To my mind, in the perception of a photograph the leading part is played by the image energy, but not a form or decoration. That is why I photograph people a lot; such photos include a lot of emotions, emotional states, sensuality.

 

Alongside with studio work, I take a lot of pictures during trips and travels. My creative work turns out to be especially fruitful during the trips with my loved one. In this case my journey photographic stories are more sincere, and the photographs are more lively and emotional.

 

I am a member of the Union of Photography Artists of Russia and the Creative Union of Artists. I have my own photo studio and Creative Photography School.
