Photo series of rural Russia, the upper Volga region.

Statement
I am interested in landscapes and structures, with themed series of images that explore both the natural world and constructed spaces.
I am interested in revealing images which are very strong; that offer a glimpse of past worlds and indistinct realities; where the boundaries between fiction and documentary blur, and memories take on a life of their own.
I currently teach filmmaking, and make films
and photographic projects.
