People and especially children are and were always essential in my life—growing up in a big Family and with children-rich families in my childhood neighborhood in Kazakhstan.
The passion for photography has been passed over to me by an uncle when I was still a child. He is a professional landscape photographer and I grew up watching diligently in capturing moments and images and developing pictures. It was magical and fascinating for me back then and I never lost that Feeling ever since.
I got my first analogue camera from my father age 12—since then never stopped taking pictures. 2002, with my first salary I bought my first digital camera. Since then until my daughter has been born in 2009 I was mainly focusing on landscape and Lifestyle pictures. The very day my daughter has been born I knew my passion is and will be children photography.
