Anastasiya Otkidach My name is Anastasiya Otkidach. I grow up in Ukraine in Crimea, very beautiful place to be…surrounded by nature, sea and mountains. First time when I picked up camera and start shootings was when I was 5 years old. I fell in love with it from the first try and since then I never stopped learning and exploring this art. My art very specific. I love movies, love directing, love fairytale and dark side of us. I believe that a dark side it’s the most interesting thing in anything. That’s why my photography not a cute one:) My inspiration I’m taking from movies and traveling. I start travel when I was 18 and never stopped since then :) I’m shooting with Leica. Best camera in my opinion. Wanna have them all:) but right now is MP-240. Full frame. All manual.

Photography is my life… that’s how I found my way to express my feelings and give my imagination a freedom.

Now I’m 31 years old. Living in Bali, raising wolfs and creating art.
