Artist Statement:
I strongly believe, that the
language of photography is a
unique one.
It is universal for all the
people all over the world,
regardless of their color,
language, faith, origin...
As a photographer, I focus on
specific areas of interest -
fine art photos, incl. themes:
the glamour and eternal
feminine beauty, portraiture,
nature, real life, form's
styles, experiment;
politicians; Industrial,
advertising & fashion
photography; Digital photos &
computer's photo-design.
Thus i created black and white
series such as:
"Creation", "Nude's" and
colour series like:
"Months", "Black & White" and
others.
Thanks to all, who give me
countenance in life!
