Church of Saints Constantine and Helena was used as a sports hall during the Soviet era. In my opinion there is no separation of my works as different projects, they can be defied as «series» by place or period of time. Street photography for me is endless, it is one big project of my life, that will continue as long as I work. I am collecting moments with my photographs and it seems to me that they are sincere and eloquent. I never give names to my works and often capture pictures while listening to music in my headphones. It is a way to take my mind off all the surroundings and concentrate. Being a street photographer I feel like I'm an artist and scientist at the same time. Anthropologist, I guess, because I examine a human being, its origins, habitat, cultural environment, its evolution and degradation. My favorite thing about capturing people is the moment, when I shoot them before they realize it, when I do not have eye contact with them, but have this unique emotional connection that is almost subconscious. I see beauty everywhere, not just in what you can say is a «beautiful» moment. Ive had some rough patches in my life and I’ve learned that beauty lies in the most unexpected and unpredictable moments. I often prefer a bit dirty aesthetics, because it feels real to me. As far as I'm concerned there is as much beauty in a homeless man as there is in a flower. My eye travels a lot, even if this journey is my way from a studio back home. I walk a lot and shoot a lot and try not to miss anything. I tried to do what I think is real, truthful and bold, because it is my goal to be honest in photography.
