Anastasia Shpilko
Women Photograph
Moscow, Russia
I was born in 1989 in Minsk, now the Republic of Belarus, but grew up in Russia and completed a degree in Journalism at the Moscow State University. My engagement with a camera originated in journalistic background: I started wondering whether journalistic efficiency of photography exceeds that of text. In 2009, I interned at the picture desk of the business daily Vedomosti, Russian subsidiary of the Financial Times. Although the following year I returned to writing for a weekly magazine, soon after that I chose to attend MA Photojournalism course at the University of Westminster where I got involved into wider range of photography practices and graduated with distinction in 2012. Presently, I work as a photo editor and freelance as a photographer, in my personal projects I take special interest in social and identity issues. My photographs appeared in such publications as The Sunday Times (UK), Financial Times (UK), 11 Freunde (Germany), and on websites of Dazed (UK), NPR (USA) and FK magazine (Latvia) among others.
