Current stage

Hello hello, I haven't been writing here much but from today I want to change it and write updates on my dynamic and funny life. Everyday is like a scene from the hollywood film haha.
So today my day was filled with the uni trip (how I hate it), listening for two hours about music law made me feel sick plus a thought about my future exam where my current knowledge equals to zero. After cooking italian inspired dinner for my boyfriend the evening was filled with numerous amount of photoshop and working on Vrag.

Instead of having a super luxury break with my parents in Miami I decided to kick my ass around and work a lot. I have been working during my holidays with cold, it wasn't exciting, coughing for thirty minutes non stop and holding a camera at the same time.

Here are updates on some super cool projects I worked on.

Lazy Oaf look book. These guys are so great and it was a pleasure to work with them.



My muse Kit. Kit always inspires me not only with her look, but with her appearance, character and gestures. 


Hello form US Nylon. Got two issues with my pictures in it. Dry the River and Maya Jane Coles.


Preview from the amazing shoot we did with Tess Yopp and Oonah Anderson. We built the set and made it look like a prom party. Soon more.


I-D magazine  and Uniqlo project. That was fun! Shooting 10 people in few hours, thanks to my friend Alena we did it.

Too cool for school. Vice Russia

This shoot was inspired by my Moscow school and the nostalgic memories of my tenth grade. That year was full of adventure, experiencing youth and being hooligans. I tried to capture everything that we used to do: missing classes, hiding for a smoke and hanging out behind garages.  I would say this shoot is a bit documentary because I recorded the real places and spirit of that time.

Rankin exhibition and snooker!

My friend Alena and I were chosen for the Rankin exhibition. The Dazed TV Party was amazing and fun. We were really satisfied with the prints and frames. We met the very talented Cameron Alexander who also was chosen with his beautiful shot of Callum Wilson. By the time all the drinks were finished we aimed towards Dalston and the pool hall with lots of fries in our hands!!

The whole thing was filmed by Dazed TV and it will be out tomorrow at 7.00 pm
