Automotive

A good photograph is not taken, it is made and made not with just a camera, but with light, vision, techniques, heart and soul. Details, are what make a good photograph. It takes time and commitment to make a good photograph. All this couldn't be truer when it comes to automotive photography.

Growing up in the USSR, where automotive design was virtually non-existent, foreign cars were something I only saw in pictures. These images came from publications that were semi-prohibited but circulated underground. As a boy, I would collect posters and small cut-outs from magazines and newspapers. I didn’t even know how to properly pronounce some of the brand names, had never heard of Pininfarina, and often made up my own stories to go along with the pictures I had.

My passion lies in photographing project cars and motorcycles—machines with stories and small but meaningful details. As someone deeply immersed in the culture, I understand the dedication, time, and money poured into building a project or restoring a classic. Beyond my love for the design of these kinetic sculptures, I’m also fascinated by aftermarket performance tuning and motorsports. Whether it’s Mopar, JDM, Enduro, or fully electric—I don’t care. If it moves, I love it.

Services

Automobiles

Cars are best models for photos. They are designed to be mechanical art pieces and their many lines create amazing contrast between light and shadows. As with any subject, shooting cars in a creative way is the key to a memorable photograph.

Motorcycles

Professional photography for your business will support all types of marketing campaigns and in doing so, will clearly show how well your business is managed and what differentiates your company from competitors.

Commercial

What purpose does this vehicle serve? This is the question which needs to be answered in this genre of photography. Due to the large  size of the vehicles, careful planning and perfect location scouting is crucial in order to achieve the best result.

Transport

Anything with wheels, doesn’t matter how many. Anything which stands on rails. Anything which can swim or fly. If it was designed and engineered to transport people or cargo – I’m interested.

Portfolio

Some examples of my work can be found below, cars, bikes and some commercial vehicles. These are just select photographs from earlier projects, in no particular order.

Retouching

Since a good photograph is not taken, but made – post production is an integral part of photography workflow. Sometimes, it only takes a few minutes to capture a photo, but it takes countless hours of work to get the final result. It’s not as simple as picking a filter. Each photo goes though a color and geometric correction process. Some photos require more work, which was not possible at the time of the photoshoot.
