Bio
I am originally from Russia and came to the US to pursue a career in translation. In 2007 I accidentally took a photography class and soon became wildly obsessed with image making.
I currently divide my time between shooting commissioned work, teaching and pursuing personal photography projects. I use the camera to connect deeper with the people, things and places I photograph, recording moments of quiet intensity and making order out of chaos.
My personal work explores the themes of motherhood, womanhood and connection. I use light, color and texture to create vivid and intimate images that inhabit the space between the real and the imaginary and provide a sense of escape, while still capturing the beauty and fragility of everyday life.
I graduated from the Center of Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University and have attended classes at ICP, School of Visual Arts, MassArt and New England School of Photogrphy.
I live in Cambridge, MA with my husband and our son.
