Why photography ?
Why Not? But to be serious... I believe that sooner or later it comes the time for every human to understand his/her own strong and weak points. That's what actually has happened to me (soon) 10 years ago when I took a camera into my hands. After a certain period of trials and mistakes I just understood that I do feel naturally lines and compositions, light and shadows, combinations of complementary colors, to catch emotions. That what makes sense to my life right now - capturing beauty of the world and passing my visions to the viewer...
Your inspiration ?
The beauty! Starting from the beauty of Nature in all those colorful landscapes and seascapes and further to the beauty of female
Coming to the persons - my Muse and my main model is my wife - stunning and emotional redhead with Master degree in psychology - mind crushing combination. She is my treasure and inspiration :)
What is unique in your photographs ?
Well, maybe it is still the fact that I have been stuck in the so-called "Red Zone" for years now. Looking at my YK gallery it is not obvious that I'm on 95% color photographer. I just can't get rid of red color in particular in my photographs - red colorful sunsets and red outfits and dresses all around me and very often they are just combined in one frame.
The context of creation of your new series / Your next projects?
It is a pretty hard time due pandemic restrictions, while I do always have some projects on my mind. Definitely will continue body-art series as well as art nude projects (in color and black and white as well).
Any anecdote for us ?
I will be short: I Shoot People :D
The picture you would have loved to shoot ?
I can't wait for the World to become open again for traveling. High city fashion shoots and beautiful natural locations - they are waiting for us :)
In particular I would really love to have an underwater photoshoot, maybe one day...
The latest prizes / awards / prides you got ?
Due certain reasons have reasonably reduced my participation in international photographic salons during the last two years. While still sending images to some. Few PSA and FIAP gold medals and FIAP Blue badge for the Best Salon Photographer - that's result for the year 2020.
Your motto ?
Do what you love, and love what you do!
Any crush on a YK picture ?
YK gallery is just amazing. A lot of excellent photographers in various genres. But as I have mentioned earlier, Ruslan Lobanov is still my huge inspiration. Definitely need to visit Italy and France :)
