All people go through obstacles on their life path. At some point in your life, just one action, one incident, or one experience can change everything.

Imagine somebody that had:
20 + overdose
2 times flat lining
13 su***de attempts
Career destroyed
Homeless multiple times
15 years battling addiction ..would you give up?

Adam is one of the most inspiring people that I met. He is a great example of how we can change life no matter how hard and impossible it can seem.

What I love most about my work is that I meet so many different people. With every new photoshoot I discover a new person with their unique interests, thoughts and personal stories. And I’m tempted to convey the personality of every individual with the help of photoshoots. I want to release  self-expression of inner feelings and emotions. We all have something to say, and I want to help show it.

One day in Vancouver I walked downtown with one girl. We had a small discussion and she told me that she admires photographers because their job is not easy, especially when it comes to editing. I was so pleasantly surprised that there are people who think so.

Usually, you meet people with the opinion that this is an easy job and everything is quite simple. It's like you press a button on the camera, and since we've learned Photoshop, you can ask the photographer to make a bunch of changes and they will be ready in 5 minutes. Jesus no!

The professional development of a photographer takes hours and years of hard work. Photographers as well as others put a lot of effort and time into their craft. Appreciating others' work is the key to make everyone happy.

During this photoshoot, I could not see images through the camera. It was pretty dark in the studio as there were only flashes as the main light. The camera let me down. My viewfinder stopped working and I had to do all the shooting 'blindfolded'. I had to rely on my intuition and use manual focus. As a result, more than 90% of photos came out successfully. Except this one. I had to create it from 3 others photos, as I liked this particular frame.

It's hard not to notice how beautiful Canada is. Magnificent nature that makes you fall in love with it at the first sight.

Besides nature, there is another beautiful side of Canada - people.  Everyone I met was so welcoming, kind and friendly. When I talked to them I felt the positive energy coming from everyone. I became less afraid and did not feel like an unwelcomed immigrant. The way people here help each other and treat each other made me feel extermely happy.  For me, that is one of the most amazing parts of living here. 

I know that in every country there are good and bad people. I understand that even here I will encounter rude or hostile individuals. There is no place in the world where everyone is either kind or mean. But when in general the local mentality is so friendly you will not pay special attention to a few bad ones.
