I’m a wildlife photographer and a professional entomologist with field experience. I passionated for photographing of nature at the age of 14. From early childhood I spent a lot of time in the surroundings of my home, as my home was placed almost on the border of the settlement. So I know quite well for the ecological and biological characteristics of animals and plants that I photograph, as well
as the features of natural complexes in which my objects live. And on some of my photos you can see little-known aspects of these objects' life. I also have a collection of images of rare species listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation, as well as in the Red Data Books of the Subjects of the Russian Federation. Some of these species are rare and protected for Europe. On the other hand, I always experiment with lighting and composition to create expressive images. And, finally, I always try to shoot stories. You can also find pictures of landscapes of Russia and some adjacent territories, which do not so often fall into the sight of view of other photographers. In my photos I want to show and tell what is interesting for me at first and that has been fascinating me since childhood. Now I haven’t a clear specialization. Earlier I photographed exclusively insects, but I gradually expanded my range of interests and now I shoot almost all natural objects from a macro scale of 5: 1 to landscape panoramas. The most interesting region for me is the North-Western Caucasus. This amazing place of the Earth is very densely populated, there are many environmental problems. But how many incredible discoveries await here at every step!
