Photography as a Passion and Lifestyle
Photography has been my passion since my youth. I received my first camera—a Smena Symbol—as a teenager and began my journey with analog photography. Developing black-and-white photos in a home darkroom was an exciting process that taught me to appreciate every stage of photography. Over the years, I refined my skills using various film cameras, including the Praktica, produced in East Germany. Photography became my means of self-expression and a way to capture moments and emotions.
As an adult, I took a break from photography for nine years, focusing on other pursuits. In the early days of digital photography, image quality did not meet my expectations, so I preferred to capture moments with my own eyes. However, in 2014, I participated in an international photo walk for the first time, reigniting my passion for photography. Since then, I have photographed landscapes, architecture, and events while also experimenting with portrait photography.
Photographer in Hiiumaa and Riga
After years of photography, I decided to take it more seriously. In 2020, I purchased my first full-frame digital camera—Canon 6D Mark II—and began studying photography. My education confirmed that I had my own distinctive style and that originality is a valuable asset. I love colors, but sometimes a black-and-white photo can be even more impactful. I do not use brown or muddy filters—my photos are bright, vivid, and full of life, reflecting my worldview. My studies gave me the confidence that I possess all the necessary skills to express my creative vision through the camera. Today, I work as a photographer in both Hiiumaa and Riga, offering high-quality photography services in various genres.
