Hi! Iam a professional photographer from Ukraine,
with a carelessly tied tie, but its ok, for my type of profession.)

In photography, as in videography, have experience working with many major
corporate media projects around globe, fashion houses, corporate galas, video production companies, advertising, magazine brand photoshoots, social media modelling, creative photography
and more..

Living and working as a photographer in San Francisco gives me a lot of creative freedom, especially when shooting in iconic locations like City Hall or by the Golden Gate Bridge. I enjoy adapting to veeeery different styles - whether it’s capturing the city, portraits, or even product photography. Each project has its own challenges,
but I always aim to deliver high-quality work that speaks to what the client envisions.

On the video side, I focus on creating cinematic stories that turn everyday moments into compelling visual narratives.
"Once, my interest in photography turned my world upside down, and since then and with every shoot I burn with the desire to show this world through the prism of my lens"

Meet Victoriya Shabashnaya
second camera operator, assistant.

My wife plays a huge role in my work, especially when it comes to filming. She steps in when needed and often works as a second camera, helping to capture different angles and perspectives that add depth to our projects.
Having her on set brings a sense of teamwork and trust that makes the whole process more fluid. She’s always been supportive of my work, and when we’re shooting together, it feels like a seamless collaboration.

It’s great to know that I can rely on her to not only help with filming but to also bring her own eye to the creative process.
"I really enjoy in process during filming, it's so exciting)

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Photography is more than just a technical skill; it is an art form that allows us to express creativity, evoke emotions, and preserve memories. Each click of the shutter is an opportunity to capture a unique moment, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary visual stories.

In conclusion, the art of photography intertwines creativity, emotion, and memory, enabling us to capture the essence of life itself. It invites us to see the world through a different lens and encourages us to save the moments that matter most. As we navigate the journey of life, do not forget the importance of preserving our stories ensuring that our memories remain alive for years to come...better with Us :)
