​
Not a professional freelance photographer, I define myself as a travel-documentary-art photographer.  Almost 20 years now photography has been part of my life.  My passion is catching street portraits and trying to figure out my object's character. Point of interest - traditions in primal and natural places like India, Ethiopia, Kenya, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and more.  I  consider good photography to be much more that a snapshot or a memory, it is something that tells a story, strong enough to influence the world we live in and raise more awareness. Throughout the years my interviews and photographs have been published in many magazines and websites.  Among recently won awards and competitions are:
