Borzoi Fil Fil. 2016. Limited Edition 9/10 Photograph

Photographer specialized in dog & portrait photography. I was born in 1970 in Belarus. The best thing my country of origin has given me is music education. I studied in the Minsk conservatory as a pianist up to 24 years and even if I worked little as a musician; music is a very important part of my life. In 1995 I moved to Kiev (Ukraine). Here I started studying photography in the Fotomaster school of one of the most important Ukrainian photographers: Alex Abramov. I also studied under a great portrait photographer: Leonid Levit. In 2006 I got married and moved to Ravenna where I live with my husband Giovanni and our 4 adorable dogs Horowitz, Opalino, Rubelia and Soldino. Among my clients there are several Italian breeders and cynophilists, but also from Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, France, Germany, Finland, Russia. My husband, dog educator and ethology's studious, author of 3 books, helps me in my work. I collaborate with the artisans Camilla Coccari and Simona Morgagni in the creation of the bijoux and accessories of the "Estro Armonico" collection with images of dogs. Together with them I manage the laboratory and show room (where my small Photo Atelier is also located) in the historic center of Ravenna.
