I was born in 1983 in Kamenets-Podolsky, Ukraine. Currently I live in Kiev. My original formal education is in law and I practiced it for 13 years. Photography came into my life suddenly and fascinated me so much that it became an integral part of my life. I have been working as a food-photographer since 2014. During the last few years I have been regularly teaching both group and individual master-classes, and my book about art of food-photography is almost ready for publication. I prefer to work in low-key technique but, at the same time, I try not to impose any limits on my work. I like when food looks alive and natural. This is my main principle.
