BIOGRAPHY

I was born in May 1986 in Novgorod, Russia. I spent my entire childhood in a village, by the lake and river. I attended a rural school. My parents were engaged in agriculture. Currently, I live in Moscow with my husband and three children. But I still feel drawn to the village, where I spend as much of my free time as possible. Photography has always been a way for me to preserve in memory everything that is dear and important. I have always had and still have a wide-eyed view of the world. In the past couple of years, I have become interested in wildlife photography. It helps me truly relax my soul. All negative thoughts fade away, and there is only you and nature. I work as a theoretical physicist and also volunteer as an ornithologist. I also provide free photography services for children's and rural events. Photography is purely for the soul, for creativity. There is no desire to make money from it. Not yet.
