I was born in 1974 in Ukraine at a beautiful seaport Odesa on the Black Sea.

Since my childhood in the water – swimming, scuba diving, techno, spearfishing, and freediving.

I have a university degree in IT technology. It was a big part of my business for years, but I never forgot about the ocean.

Photography has been my passion from a kid's time when my father gave me my first simple film camera.

Once, far ago I got an underwater camera in my hands, and everything changed.

Involve in all AIDA freediving World Championships as a judge, underwater photographer, and media organizer since 2012. Creator of ideas, director of underwater shooting for all Ukrainian TV shows Top Model, Super Model XL. Creator of underwater fashion collection show for Ukrainian Fashion Week. Shootings for world top-level freediving athletes, brands, and magazines. Underwater photos for private interior design.
