How did you get to where you are now in your career? I have always felt the desire of becoming a photographer was in me since I was young, but after getting my master degree in Finance & Banking, I started to work as a bank specialist, and it lasted seven years. Although it was a good job, I was never satisfied with my career choice and have realised that it was not for me, but unfortunately, I couldn’t quit. I was afraid of starting all over and learn from scratch in a new creative profession such as Photography. During that period of my life, I was also going through a painful divorce with my husband (now exhusband). The divorce caused me a lot of stress and depression. Only now I understand that it served an impetus to change my life. It was a sign to change myself and follow my calling. I went ahead and bought my first Camera Canon 5D Mark II and my first portrait lens 85 mm. I began to shoot everything, I learned how to shoot from watching videos on YouTube, and I also learned how to retouch photos. Yes, I love retouching my photos very much. It was a complete self-education, but recently I had an opportunity to graduate from Russian Photo collage (www.photocollege.org @photocollege) in SaintPetersburg. Massive THANKS to my teacher Alexander Croft, who is a very talented fashion photographer and an amazing teacher in Russia.
How did your education prepare you for the future? It was a complete selfeducation, but recently I had an opportunity to graduate from Russian Photo collage (www.photocollege.org @photocollege) in Saint-Petersburg. Massive THANKS to my teacher Alexander Croft, who is a very talented fashion photographer and an amazing teacher in Russia. What person has been your inspiration in life? Who is your hero? I don’t have a hero, but I’ve been inspired by creations of famous fashion photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, Mario Festino and of course my two baby girls Kseniya and Michelle, they are the biggest inspiration in my life for me. Their smiles and kid energy make me cheerful and strong every day. If you had to do it over again, what would you change? I would change nothing; I wholeheartedly believe that I" m on the right path now and I take one step at the time.
