Shape-shift is a topic that has always been close to me. I really understand this concept of finding strength when you become someone else, with different limitations, but also with different possibilities. Were-foxes, Ponyo the Fish, Sirius Black - they all gain new abilities by abandoning their human form and opening their minds to a new paradigm.

Shape-shift is something that happens every day: when making difficult decisions, diving into new areas of interest. I believe that any new experience changes us so that we will never be the same. But growth is impossible without shocks?

Photographer and designer from Moscow, working in the genre of staged photography, creating commercial and personal projects. I am interested in creating an authentic fictional world in the frame and populating it with characters with their own logic and character. I also look for these characters in the real world - there are so many stories just waiting to be told.

Areas of interest:
- Folkloristics and the structure of fairy tales;
- ethnography and history of the region;
- the history of fashion, the impact of clothing on the individual;
- societies and social institutions with distinctive and unique features;
- charisma and charismatic personalities of the past and present.
