My passion is visual arts. I am a full time professional photographer, love travelling, meeting new people, sharing experiences, and telling funny stories. Lived and worked here and there, seen this and that and I would love to discuss this and tell what I know. I do not go out without a camera most of the time. Shooting digital and film. Love to play video games when I have spare time by the way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people all across the globe and see the world. Everyone I meet and everything I see can be an inspiration for creating something new. And this is true vice versa. So why should we miss the chance? Let's meet, talk, share and create!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my university years I have founded a student community for photographers, where everyone could share their work and find job offers. We had around 40 photographers in the community. In addition to that, twice a week I was giving classes on photography. Everyone could take part and it was completely free of charge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am glad to share my knowledge on photography, arts, design, architecture, cinematography, Russian, English, German or whatever you could be interested in. There is no problem in asking questions and getting answers or just having a small talk in the evening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All my knowledge and I can make a digital or film portrait if they do not mind! :)
