ABOUT ME
I was born in 1961 in Russia, Lipetsk. My father loved to paint and photograph. He had a camera FED and he taught me to photograph and print photos on the enlarger.
I wanted to learn to draw and paint, but the parents felt this way not very promising for me and I learned to be an electrical engineer, and ended with Master degree.
My younger brother became an painter, and I spent much time in his studio, observing how he wrote his still life paintings.
One day, I decided that I also want to be an painter, but my brother told me that, perhaps, it is too late to study painting, and maybe it is better to buy a camera and shoot whatever I want and what I can create.
About 12 years ago I bought a camera and began to create my own compositions and to photograph them.
The art of photography I train alone, reading a lot of literature and exhibiting my work at numerous photo sites.
I want to create not as many photos as beautiful, timeless picture, so I add some textures to all my work for a more picturesque view.
I like to create something beautiful from the absolute "nothing."
I’m use Cannon EOS 600D with very simple lens.
I photograph not only still life, but also portraits, nature, flowers, doing a lot of panoramas of Jerusalem.
I came to Jerusalem in 2003 and joined the Group Photo Club "Litvi". We do joint exhibitions and I have participated in seven of them:
1.“Athala”. 2006. Jerusalem. Cinematheque.
2.“Views”. 2008. Jerusalem. International Convention Center.
3.“Personal Exposure”. 2010. Jerusalem. Harmony Center.
4.“Different roads”.2013. Jerusalem. Beck Tech Center.
5.“As Single Birds”. 2013. Jerusalem. Cinematheque.
6.“Harvest”. 2015. Jerusalem. Cinematheque.
7.“Images from the shelf”. 2016. Jerusalem.Givat Hatachmoshet Receptions Hall
