I was established in 1966 in Latvia, a part of the USSR at the time.
Moved to St. Petersburg, 1983.

Left it for Germany in 1990.

I have developed my first film in 1978 and got hooked on the process immediately.

My education has been largely autodidactic, classical painting, graphic arts and music being a huge source of inspiration. Psychological portraiture remains a focus of my continuous interest. Artists, actors, musicians and other remarkable characters are among my favourite subjects. 

Every trip is an awakening; travel photography has its share in my portfolio, too.

Daring collaborations which go beyond the ordinary are more than welcome, I've done quite a few.

Feel free to contact me for a photoshoot or with mind-blowing suggestions you might have.
