Activity:

I was born in Leningrad, 1972, to a family that valued photography as part of family life. My dad taught me how to take photographs, develop films and print photos. Several times a year our bathroom would turn into a printing lab. I waited for the magical moment when my dad and I would sit in the bathroom with the red lantern watching the images come to life.

In 1989, we immigrated to Israel. I graduated with a Civil Engineering Degree from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. But after three years working as an engineer, my love for photography was still my passion and eventually led me to photography school. My guides into the world of the art of photography were such famous photographers and teachers as Yoel Sitruk, Nurit Yarden ,Yoram Vidal and Yossi Eshbol.

Starting at 2005 I became a commercial photographer.

Being a commercial photographer all these years I was a street photographer for my soul, and over the last few years my passion has also become a Fine Art photography, which was expressed by my subsequent studies in 2023 at the Kyiv photography school in the courses of the famous photographer, teacher and curator Dimitri Bogachuk.

My works were presented at solo exhibitions in MUZA, Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv (curator Kineret Palti), Beit Aba Hushi Haifa - Cultural Center (curator Aviva Shemer), Beit HaGefen Art Gallery Haifa. My works had awarded in International Photo Awards 2023 and Tokyo International Foto Awards 2023 and shortlisted on Athens Photo Festival 2024. Some of my works were presented at a collective exhibition at Ramat Gan Theater. My photographs were published in various magazines and Internet publications both in Israel and abroad.

I love looking at the world through my camera viewfinder and share my unique vision with the hope of making this world a better place!
