“After I completed my studies, I remained in
the school studio as a reportage photographer.
The institution offered many opportunities
for photography: there were many organized
performances, workshops, concerts and master classes.
Sometimes, I would shoot three to five events per day
with one-day turnarounds. Reportage photography is
a very interesting genre, but not under such loads,
and you must be in excellent physical shape and have
a lot of stamina. It left me no time for other projects,
and I prefer to work at my own pace and not be a
slave to time. A year later, I left to float freely, to
work on individual projects and to experiment.”
“As I said, portrait photography is one of my
favorite genres. It is important for me to feel
it, to find a contact, to show emotion, to reveal
what’s inside. Perhaps this is my main pursuit in
photography — to find a common language with
the environment and people. Sometimes it is very
difficult, and I often don’t get the desired result
because I’m such a perfectionist.”
