I am an Italy based Russian photographer and curator. Born in San Petersburg in 1981 I began taking photographs while graduating from Journalism Faculty of San Petersburg State University. For years I’ve worked as correspondent for a German-Russian newspaper and later I’ve moved to Bern, Switzerland, to coordinate the Russian editorial office of the Swiss Radio International.

I pursued my interest in photography by enroling on a photography course at Bologna Fine Art Academy and later I’ve got a master’s degree in photoediting at Rome Luiss Business School.

I collaborate with some photography associations like Fotodepartament, TerraProject, Casa della Fotografia, Scuola Pratica di Fotografia, PaolettiFoto, Passion&Profession ect. Currently I am a curator of photography exhibitions and projects for Y’art Project Photography association and am in charge of Photography Workshop in Saint-Petersburg and in Moscow. I also teach post production for photography.

I speak fluently English, German, Italian and Russian.
