Photographer and designer from Moscow. I work in the genre of staged photography, and create projects about people and stories. Each of my series is a version of what life could be like if I were a different person: a traveler, a reenactor, a historian at Cairo University, a representative of the Miao people around Luang Prabang, the mistress of a baroque mansion in London in the 19th century. A photographer can look behind closed doors, get acquainted with other cultures and professions. Therefore, in my shootings, I plunge into a whole kaleidoscope of topics with their accents, aesthetics and meanings. I pretend to try everything that beckons and seems like a parallel universe. Topics that always intrigue me: — aesthetics of renaissance, renaissance man (universal man); — ethnography, cultural features, history of the region; — fashion, the influence of clothing on a person (functionally and aesthetically); — folklore and the structure of fairy tales; — societies and social institutions (departed and modern) with their own bright features and individuality; — charisma and charismatic personalities (departed and now living); — science and technology
