Hello and Welcome to my site!

I am photographer based in Brooklyn, New York.
I was born in Ukraine, since 1989 I live in the United States.

Currently I'm involved with Black and White Fine Art Photography projects. I've chosen black & white because it allows me to concentrate on building balanced and rhythmical geometrical compositions without distraction of color. Nice feature of black and white photography is that it leaves a lot to imagination. Objects in black and white picture look very different than in life making it easier l to turn photograph into piece of fine art.
I find my subjects on streets of New York.  My goal is to show famous landmarks in my own way, very different from postcard look. In my playground pictures playgrounds are like a place from fairy tales within dark and preoccupied adult world.
My photographs make good gifts - whether black and white or color photographs. I keep my prices very low by doing all printing, matting and framing myself and buying all supplies from the warehouse. And with prices being so low I still deliver archival quality printing and framing by using high quality materials.
You can read more about me and my work in my blog.

This website also contains my color photographs taken in 2002-2007 - landscapes, animals, still life and modeled images.
Here you can find info about my favorite places to take pictures, Photoshop tricks, tips how to make better pictures.
This site is work in progress, so please come back to visit again.
