I was born in Minsk, Belarus in 1992.
Since I can remember I was determined to become an actor. I think my mother's love for classical Soviet melodramas during my upbringing played a big role in developing of my passion for acting. I memorized lines from favorite movies, and spent hours performing in front of my mom in the kitchen afterwards. Later acting became my profession. In 2014 I graduated from the Belarussian State Academy of Arts and spent next 4 years in Janka Kupala National Theatre in Minsk working as an actor.
I think ability to observe is one of the most important skills you can get from acting classes. You watch people: how they move, express their feelings and emotions, what their habits are. I am pretty sure that is what lead me towards photography. I was drawn to photography spontaneously. My father gave me his Zenit-E, a Soviet 35-mm camera when I was 17. Classic film photography became my hobby and my passion and later on developed into my career.
