“I was born on April 22, 2002 (It’s Earth Day, and also Lenin’s birthday), I laugh that I’m writing about it. Since childhood, I have been interested in a lot of things but I’m a type of a person who easily gets bored with everything and gives up quickly. The only thing that I have been interested in since childhood has been photography. My interest towards it grows day by day. If in the past you asked me to take a photo of you, I would never say no – I would correct your pose and take a beautiful photo of you. I am very detailed-oriented and remember everything, what, when and how. 

My father helped me to discover art. He was creating enamel artwork, and I liked to hang out in his small room, where there were always a lot of tools. I would remember the shots and sleep sweetly afterwards. We do not have a standard father-daughter relationship. When we argue and don’t speak with each other, he always sends me photos of old buildings or sunflowers on social media.

I am a normal teenager who will turn 20 soon and step into the adult world. I love spending time with my friends. Their big, happy faces and silly actions inspire me and end up in my shots eventually. 

To describe myself shortly, I would say that I am “me.”

I do not know what else to tell you, I am a standard person with my own thoughts and ideas.”
