About Me

Hi, I’m Ilia! Born and raised in Lipetsk, Russia, I’ve always had a passion for creating beautiful imagery. After studying English and French in college, I worked as an interpreter, which gave me the chance to travel and see the world’s beauty—experiences that continue to shape my photography today.

Photography is more than a job for me; it’s something I truly love. I aim to make every session unique, capturing moments that you’ll cherish for years, while ensuring the experience is fun and comfortable.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my wife, Emily, and our daughter, Izabella. I’m also a big fan of music and film—especially Depeche Mode, Mitski, and Placebo!

I’d love to work with you and create something unforgettable.
