about

I’m a Russian-born mixed media artist, photographer, and chronic lurker based in Ōtautahi.

My photography is rooted in observation and storytelling, driven by the fascination with the mundane. By capturing the fleeting, often overlooked moments that shape our collective human experience, I preserve atmosphere and memories of the rapidly shifting environment we continuously influence.

Working across personal and commercial projects, I approach each subject with the same point of view, creating images that are evocative, textural, and imperfect in the same way that life is.
