Professional reportage photographer.
SHOOTING OF ANY EVENTS.
What kind of events do I shoot?
- large events — conferences, forums, symposiums, congresses. If necessary, I will gather a team of cool photographers
— corporate events, presentations, startup meetings with investors, business breakfasts, round tables, business informal meetings, group master classes and team games
— team building, mitaps, pitch sessions
— festivals, concerts, performances, shows, exhibitions, openings
— cultural and festive events
— birthdays, parties, banquets, anniversaries
— sports competitions, marathons, triathlons, soccer, boxing, bike and motorcycle races
— indoor, outdoor, out-of-town or nature events
— children’s events
How I shoot, my principles and approach?
- I strive for everyone in the frame to be beautiful, get the most attractive
— I make shots at the peak of the moment
— I appreciate lively, emotional photos that convey the atmosphere of the holiday, showing how good everyone was
— I wait and catch emotions that convey the atmosphere of the holiday
— I look for the best angle and do a lot of takes
— my photos want to look at, they attract attention, each photo will be nice to hang in a frame on the wall and not ashamed to post on social networks
— people like themselves in the photo and it makes me happy.
How does location shooting happen?
- I will come to the event in advance, study the location, on the spot we will discuss the TOR, clarify the details, shoot the necessary elements of decor, set the light
- On the shoot I act according to the situation and in accordance with your wishes. If there is a TOR — I will make all the shots that are prescribed in it.
- I am excellent at shooting quietly and inconspicuously, so your guests will not be camera shy. They won’t even notice that there was a photographer around.
- If your party drags on, we can arrange and extend the shoot.
- As a result, almost any reportage shoot is a colourful mix of reportage shots taken at the peak of the moment, when everyone was having the most fun, the necessary protocol shots — speeches, congratulations, awards, and portraits of people ready to pose.

Why me?
— I do over 150 shoots a year
The professionalism of a reportage photographer manifests itself in situations with difficult lighting and unexpected moments. Experience gained from a large number of shoots allows me to anticipate the course of the event, be in the right place at the right moment and capture the best moments in the most favourable angles.
— I guarantee the safety of the photographic material
I always shoot on two memory cards at the same time to ensure the safety of the material.
— I always start shooting on time
I arrive before the event to assess the location in advance, find the best angles and light.
— I know how to work according to TOR
I shoot what you ask for and exactly how you ask it. I ask the right questions about the shoot. I can work silently and unnoticeably, without distracting from what is happening, or I can talk and attract the attention of guests.
— A sense of style and taste
Я внимательно слежу за тем, чтобы все люди в кадре получались хорошо — с красивыми эмоциями на лице, в самых удачных позах. Поэтому даже самые эмоциональные фото, сделанные на пике праздника, можно с удовольствием показывать друзьям и близким не стесняясь нелепых кадров.
— Художественное образование
Я имею художественное образование и это дополняет мои работы. Я остро чувствую и вижу цвет и композицию. Я не просто фиксирую событие, а делаю из него живую историю со смыслами, героями, яркими эмоциями, и необходимой долей драматизма
— Individual approach
I choose the shooting and processing style that best suits the nature of your event. Whether it was an elegant reception with stylish gowns or a crazy costume party, I use exactly the shooting, lighting and processing techniques that will bring out the best in the event and its vibe
— Putting my lights on at the event
I bring additional light to events where shooting on a press wall or insufficient lighting is required. The shooting result will be excellent in any case, in any lighting conditions
— Perfect match for the dress code
I understand that the photographer at the event is part of the organizer’s team and my appearance always corresponds to the situation.
Testimonials
How do you accept payment, cash or bank transfer?
I am self-employed, I work officially and pay taxes. I use any payment options.
You can pay for my work in cash upon meeting.
If you want to pay by bank transfer, I can issue an invoice. After payment, I will issue a check (invoice).
Or just transfer money to my card, and I will issue an invoice for the services.
How many pictures are we gonna get?
The number of photos depends on the nature and intensity of the event. Usually more than 50 processed frames are obtained.
Will the photos be processed?
Of course. My job involves shooting, carefully selecting the best shots from all the footage and then processing them — color correction, cropping, adjusting sharpness and contrast, without deep retouching.
It’s very dark at our event, can you take a picture?
Yes. When shooting a reportage, I use different lighting devices, and the latest generation camera allows me to shoot in fairly difficult lighting conditions. I will choose a shooting method that will correspond to the goals and objectives, and the photos will turn out great in any lighting.
Is it possible to film privately?
Yes. If you don’t want your event photos to be published on my portfolio or social media, just say so before the shoot.
