Nice to meet you! I am a Belarusian photographer, based in Wroclaw, Poland, working at the intersection of the genre, documentary and art photography. In my photos I try to combine simple and purity pictures with the emotional moments and a hint of the cinematographic mood.
I do different types of photography — from wedding to corporate, interior and fashion photoshoots. Please, check the portfolio and contact for the type you need.
I shoot both digital and film. My photo gear includes
Canon 5D MARK IV, Mamiya AF645.
I speak Russian, English and Polish.
Below you can see my short BIO and selected awards and exhibitions.
