ABOUT ME

Look, I'm not
an intellectual – I just take pictures

Artist Statement

Photographer and designer from Moscow. I work in the genre of staged photography, and create projects about people and stories. Each of my series is a version of what life could be like if I were a different person: a traveler, a reenactor, a historian at Cairo University, a representative of the Miao people around Luang Prabang, the mistress of a baroque mansion in London in the 19th century.

A photographer can look behind closed doors, get acquainted with other cultures and professions. Therefore, in my shootings, I plunge into a whole kaleidoscope of topics with their accents, aesthetics and meanings. I pretend to try everything that beckons and seems like a parallel universe.

Topics that always intrigue me:
— aesthetics of renaissance, renaissance man (universal man);
— ethnography, cultural features, history of the region;
— fashion, the influence of clothing on a person (functionally and aesthetically);
— folklore and the structure of fairy tales;
— societies and social institutions (departed and modern) with their own bright features and individuality;
— charisma and charismatic personalities (departed and now living);
— science and technology
