I started my serious adventure with reflex camera not long ago – in 2015. And even though I played with photography already in childhood – first with old fashioned Smena and then with digital compact cameras – from the technical point of view it could hardly be called a valuable experience. I started working with my first reflex camera by making a commitment that I will never take a photo with automatic settings, and have stuck with this principle ever since.
So I am a self-taught person. Is that good? I keep learning all the time, draw conclusions, look for new techniques and inspirations. I deliberately break the rules of composition when I think it is appropriate to do so. One day I will get some professional training. Until then, the benchmark for my skills will have to be my portfolio and not my education.
I mostly take photos of the Baltic coast and urban scenery in the Tri-City but you can also find other photos in my portfolio. I most often publish my photos on Instagramie.
