I've always been drawn to the water, and growing up near a lake in rural Russia was like living in my own personal paradise. My parents were both Russian Jewish immigrants who valued hard work and self-sufficiency above all else. They instilled in me a strong sense of independence from a young age.
As I grew older, I began to explore the surrounding forests, where I'd spend hours climbing trees, swimming in hidden coves, and simply enjoying the solitude that nature provided. Those early experiences shaped my love for the outdoors and taught me how to navigate the world with confidence.
After completing my studies in Moscow, I decided to pursue a career in photography, focusing on capturing the beauty of the natural world through my lens. My dream is to travel extensively throughout Russia and beyond, documenting the raw, unbridled power of nature while also sharing its profound influence on human culture.
