Brief Biography
My story began in the cozy city of Dnipro in Ukraine, where I was born in 1980. Back home, I graduated with Master Degree as "Energy Engineer", and I worked as an engineer for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for industrial enterprises.
Since childhood, I've been fascinated by computers, and over the years, I became interested in programming. But in 2005, my interests expanded – I discovered the world of photography. It started with the purchase of a small digital camera, and by 2007, I had a professional DSLR camera with interchangeable lenses.
Initially, I experimented with landscapes and nature, but I soon realized that my passion lay in portrait photography, especially in photographing people. My first commercial wedding shoot occurred half a year after purchasing the DSLR camera, marking the start of my journey in professional photography.
What began as a hobby turned into my profession. In 2010, I decided to leave my engineering job and dedicate myself fully to freelance photography. Back then, I primarily focused on wedding, couples, studio, and street photography.
In 2014, my life took another significant turn. What started as a two month family vacation on Koh Samui, Thailand turned into more than ten years of life and work on the island.
And in 2025, there was another big change: my home and base became Lisbon, Portugal. Here I photograph families, couples and small brands, and I am happy to meet anyone who wants honest, relaxed photography in Lisbon and across Portugal.
