I believe I can fly or how I ran on the runway of DWC to shoot a plane landing.

4 years back to this day I got to shoot one pretty exciting project in the Dubai World Central Airport. That day marked the landing of the Four Seasons Private Jet carrying its passengers to Dubai for the first time in its history. The landing was announced to be at around 6 pm time, which […]

Do You Know The Difference Between a Pebble and a Cobble? Buhais Geological Park, Sharjah.

Hello, my dear friends. Those of you, who reside in the desert like me, are on a home-run towards the end of summer (or at least we sure hope so). Despite corona-related regulations and precautions, we want to go out, really out, to the desert, to the mountains, to the sea-side… but it is still […]

Shoot for the Stars, You Might as well See a Comet… or Not.

Since I was a kid, I loved to stare at the skies full of stars. I remember coming from the school on a crisp frosty Russian evening, I would locate a certain constellation of three stars and wonder what they are called (probably should look it up). If lucky to get out of the city […]

My favourite 2017 images (a year shot with Fuji)

Everyone is tempted to draw a certain line at the end of the year, which I guess provides psychological closure on a pathway to a better and newer you… at least in theory. Last year was quite an amazing year for me professionally, and in terms of my personal photography as well. I met so […]

Sometimes it’s Black and White.

Hey friend, I always shoot my landscapes in colour, enhance the colour, and bring out the details… but I thought what if I try to turn them into black and white… would it work? It kinda leaves the bare essence of the image and no bullshit around. Look at this one, how the opening in […]

Shooting Trees Running From The DEath In Sharjah Desert. #GPP17

Salut adventurers! Today’s story is about how we went to the desert to photograph a conservation project with Benjamin Wong as a part of his workshop for GPP17. The idea behind the project was that desert kills trees, and we need to help the planet by planting more trees. So Benjamin and GPP teamed up […]

Face The Challenge.

Hello wonderful world of the Internet. Yesterday I had a shoot in Mastercard’s local office. They told me I need to do a headshot of the CEO guy. I don’t really like taking headshots, but for many photographers, it is their bread and butter money. I take any jobs because I have to pay my bills. […]
