BIOGRAPHY

I was born in the summer. Perhaps that's why I love it so much and the word "summer" often appears in the titles of my works. Or maybe because I spent part of my childhood in the sunny city of Yerevan, Armenia. Rather, my childhood was divided between Yerevan and Moscow, where it all started. After school, I finally returned to Moscow, where I am to this day. At the end of 2003, after a serious upheaval, I suddenly saw the world in new amazing colors and just as suddenly began to shoot. I've never tried it before. Perhaps sometimes an artist needs the most powerful emotional push to speak. My work was immediately noticed by the Internet photo community and since then I have not stopped. Styles, directions, and techniques changed. But I just kept on photographing. Photography means a media tool to me. Ideal for instant transmission and storage, not only in memory, feelings and sensations. That-disembodied, which we sometimes feel, but can not name. Summer evening, joy and peace spread in the air, warm light caressing faces, the smell of honey and the feeling of infinity that was born at this moment. Sometimes this can be transmitted via the camera. And while it's not easy, it seems to me that this is exactly what a photographer should strive for. Of course, it could have been something else. I, for example, draw. Maybe one day I'll want to write, make movies, or create clothes (which I learned, by the way). But still, camera is the most obedient device in my hands.
