I am a photographer and designer from Moscow, working in the genre of staged photography, creating projects about people and stories. Each of my series is a version of what life could be like if I were a different person, i.e. a traveler, a historian at Cairo University, a representative of the Miao people around Luang Prabang, a resident of a village lost in the Russian north, the owner of a baroque mansion in 19th century London.
A photographer can look behind closed doors, and get to know other cultures and professions. That's why I travel a lot in my shoots and immerse myself in a spectre of cultural features with their accents, aesthetics and meanings. And the more lives and stories I get to know, the more I want to discover them and turn them into complete works in their own right.
