Who am I
I'm a photographer. I do a content shooting for commercial and personal blogs on Instagram. I am also the author of MILK MOMMY'S project, which reloads looks of mothers from Ufa and Moscow.
The love for the social network from a hobby turned into a job that I truly grief. I create audit profiles on Instagram, shoot content, develop the taste and style of city bloggers and shops.
My second photo exhibition took place last September.
I do yoga, study and plan to support social projects in the field of ecology, women's rights and body-positive.
Watching, reading, listening
I'm a music lover. I like to find music that few people know about. Previously, I was engaged in music and rap, directed music videos that were shown on Bashkir television.
I'm a big fan of comic book universes — watched every movie of Marvel Universe. I love melodramas and am afraid of horror movies.
What inspires
People with special vision, great experience and projects in different fields inspire me.

Inspiration is mood, harmony, self-sufficiency. In the city I am inspired by a walk in the centre, there is a whole culture of stylish and creative people.
How I rest
I used to consider myself a city person, but now more often I rest on nature.
Where I spend time
Most of all I like the centre of Ufa, Gostiny Dvor district.
On the site of "Art Square" often held interesting events, it's nice to bring a client for a photo shoot or just walk. Creative and stylish guys and girls are gathering there, which pleases the eye and soul.
In Ufa for the last couple of years were opened a lot of original clothing stores. Better to visit design market. My friend has a showroom with creative clothing and even the name speaks for itself — "Provocateur".

How I rest
In matters of rest, I'm not strong, because I have a lot of workloads and creative projects. If it turns out, I rest during the trips, and I like to explore new places. Passive rest is not for me.
In Ufa, several times a year held a design market, where designers of clothing, accessories exhibit products. Many creative people visit this place, there is a special atmosphere.
After I had started taking photos, my environment changed and became 99% of creative professionals. More and more people devote themselves to creative professions.
With photographers and other professionals, we meet and get acquainted during a creative set or in the studios.
Where I spend time
My favourite place in the city — "Art Square". The repair there is not finished, but it is already cool to be there. I constantly conduct photoshoots in this place as there are cool locations and architecture. There is always something going on in the space, various concerts in the evenings. In the future, there will be a museum, street food corner and a street cinema.
