I have collaborated with model agencies in Ukraine, photographing children and adults—from family and individual sessions to weddings—and I have also led my own master class in artistic photography. My work is defined by emotional depth and meticulous attention to detail, with a signature artistic retouching style. I work in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom and also create mobile videos with a cinematic touch and storytelling atmosphere. I am fluent in Russian, very good in Ukrainian, and have basic English (A2).
