Today I am French by nationality. I had to lose my nationality of Kazakhstan, where I was born and raised. As well I spent over ten wonderful years working in Dubai, UAE. A few years ago, my family and I settled in Provence, France. My higher education degree in psychology and multicultural background, art education and diverse life experiences deeply influence and enrich my approach to photography. An ongoing love of travel and self-education shapes my photography style. In 2025, I was honored to receive the Qualified European Photographer (QEP) certification— an important milestone in my professional journey. I participate in international photography awards and expos, including exhibitions in Milan (Italy) with Iconic, Paris and other cities in France, and England, Italy sharing my work with a wider audience and engaging with the vibrant creative community across the World.
