Most of all, I enjoy working on long term social documentary projects and newsworthy events and stories. I prefer wide angles and manage to include a lot of details in one frame.
I was born in Minsk, Belarus and received my first degree in World Economy from the Belarusian State Economic University. After working for several years in finance, I decided to pursue career in photography and in 2013 completed Professional Photography Program at the New England School of Photography (Boston, MA), concentrating on Documentary (Honors), Advertising (Honors), and Fine Art Black&White.
Currently, I live and freelance in Boston, MA. I have done work for ChildFund International, RBC Magazine (Russia), Psychologies Magazine (Russia), Boston Bar Association, Boston Celtics, LeanIn, Education Pioneers (Greater Boston) and other local businesses. I have also been contributing to ZUMA.
