Vladimir  took his first pictures at the age of 9. After graduating from Far East Marine Academy in Vladivostok
he has worked for 7 years in the Far East Shipping Company. Having returned to Kiev he started to work as a photo reporter in a weekly newspaper.
In 1990 he graduated from the Journalism Department of  Kiev State University and began a career of a commercial photographer.

He lives in Kiev and runs his own fully  equipped studio in the city center with a complete range of camera formats and lighting. In his work he always
 sticks to a principle to compose the extremly artful shots and to create the beautiful  compositions.

In addition to his primary passion of Photography he also enjoys travelling. Vladimir always takes a chance to combine his work of a photographer with
his passion to travel. He visited many countries and you can see some of his works at this site.

Food photography is one of his favourite. Today Vladimir is a well-known artist who provides food and still life images
for advertising and editorial usage. He is also the only Ukrainian photographer whose works are represented in the world's biggest   food photo library
Stockfood  ( www.stockfood.de ) . In his free time he likes to cook for a family and friends who are always welcome. He is sure that the most important
in shooting foods is to catch  the right moment when they are the most beautiful and the most appetising.

His motto - valid both at work and at home: eat, drink and be happy!
