Photography is an escape from my work as a software developer. It allows me to explore the unusual and seek out new places. I try to capture surreal moments that reflect the peculiarities of nature via everyday moments. Artistic freedom is very important to me; often enough a simple photo becomes a small work of art. Creativity is key if you want to grab the viewer’s attention. Being creative is all about getting inspired. I do this by admiring the work of others on social media, but then I try to make my own thing out of it.

I’ve now been published and have won a few contests. It was a great pleasure to be in the finals of the 2018 National Geographic Photo Contest, and in 2019 I held my first exhibition.
