It’s going to be a long story
So get ready to read. You’re on this page to get to know me better, right? 😁
In the meantime, you can turn on calm music in the background 🎶
Chapter 1. Let’s get acquainted
You know, I’ve never really liked being photographed, just like my mom. The camera was something superfluous to me, like an unnecessary prop in someone else’s play… until one day.
It so happened that I burned out to my main activity — programming. Up to this point, I had been living in a world of code and algorithms, content to have a monitor as my main viewer. And anyway, I thought I was a nerd (and I still am 😁) — was crazy about what’s going on the 25th line of code. But one day this performance abruptly changed the scenery…
There was an understanding in my head that sooner or later the skill of “gluing frames” would be needed. I accidentally opened the editing program, just to edit a video for a gaming channel (at that time I thought of myself as a good esports player). After a couple of hours on the screen, I caught myself in a wild, inexplicable pleasure. And it came every time I sat down for the same project again. It was like someone had knocked on my head and said:
— Brother, this is yours. Take your time, and you’ll be fine. Go for it…
Who knows, maybe it was God himself...
Chapter 2. A Twist of Fate
My best friend Kirill introduced me to the camera. It was an accident. For a guy who hated the lens all his life, it was like meeting an alien. But it turned out to be an alien with kind eyes. I should say that I fell in love with this alien, and he became for me not an alien guest, but like my first love at school.
And then Brother Dima entrusted his camera to me. It became my first, real, native… my brother also tried his hand at media production, but ironically ended up in an IT company and doesn’t complain. That’s how life threw us its UNO reverse card. And while I was deciding whether to stay in the virtual gaming world or go into real shootings, projects filled my portfolio one by one. That’s how I realized for sure: whatever I choose, I’m passionate about it and I want to make a living from this particular craft. As you can see, scrolling through my website, I chose real life and real shooting.
Chapter 3. Media center. It couldn’t be more central
Looking through the page with my portfolio, I think you might have noticed the watermark — “MediaTochka”. This is the media center of my former educational institution. I got there in order to replenish my portfolio. But as it was said in one work: “Let’s go. In and out. 20 minute adventure, ” I thought. However, this adventure dragged on and left an important mark in my life. This stage in my life turned out to be a point of growth not only as a specialist, but also as a person.
During my time at “MediaTochka”, I helped the team achieve the title of one of the best media centers not only at the city or regional level, but at the level of our vast country. But this title is among vocational schools, it’s important, universities live their own lives.
As a result, I filled up my portfolio, as I wanted. I also got new acquaintances and cases.
Chapter 5. One-Man Band
As you can see from my portfolio, I am a versatile specialist and, frankly, it is very difficult for me to call myself a specific term: videographer, photographer or director of editing. Because like actors who put on masks, I also change them.
In order not to go to extremes, I rather consider myself a hybrid visual content creator, collaborating with both brands, organizations, and ordinary people.
Chapter 6. My approach. Or what makes me different
I’m meticulous, and I’m proud of it.
- I dig deep into every question, without missing the details.
- I’m a fast learner (Kirill won’t let me lie 😂) and I can adapt to any task.
- And this is most likely due to fluency in English. Therefore, if the language barrier stopped you from writing to me, don’t worry)
But the main thing is that I always remember that there are people behind every project. Not abstract “clients”, but living personalities with stories, joys and pains. And I want them to feel the love and awe with which I approach work through the screen.
Chapter 7. Philosophical Touch
If my work were one genre of film, it would be a melodrama.
There is a bright joy in it, and a quiet sadness, and moments when the heart beats faster.
I’ve always been an observer — since childhood I’ve been looking at people, lights, movements, little things. Now this skill has become my main tool. Everything that surrounds me — music, movies, sunlight or a gust of wind — inspires me to create. After all, this is life, a boundless source of inspiration and warmth. This is art!
Chapter 8. A Warm Ending
I’m not a cover star or an unattainable master.
I am an ordinary person who once found his business and now does it with love.
And if this energy is close to you, let’s create a story together.
