I was born in Northern Caucasus region of Russia in 1979. Since 2000 I live in Israel where I finished B.F.A. study in Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. From the first meeting with the world of photography, I felt that the reality and the image in the photograph are very similar and at the same time different and the world in viewfinder seemed like mine. Mainly I use staged photography; it allows me more control to make the occurrence sharper.
