Hey everyone, 

I'm Leo. Originally born in Russia, I spent half of my childhood in the San Francisco Bay Area, exploring the vast beauties of the Sierra Nevada, sandy coastlines, and cityscapes. In 2021, I moved to Vancouver, BC, in hopes of pursuing my passion for camerawork. I specialize my work in photo sessions, model work, as well as any other sort of imaging. 

Since 2022, I have had the honor to learn about camera work and its technicalities from renowned cinematographer Karl Hermann, whose experience in Hollywood holds some of today's most important films. 

Growing up deeply rooted in Eastern culture, I’m inspired by its philosophies, intricate details, and timeless history. My photography is an exploration of perspectives and harmony, bridging the East and West to create images that feel both familiar and new. 

Through each shoot, I aim to bring out a sense of connection, capturing moments that blend cultural richness with the nuances of contemporary life. Whether in portraits, landscapes, or street photography, my work is infused with a respect for tradition yet shaped by a bold, fresh viewpoint. Let me share with you my vision of a world where the East and West meet—filled with mindsets, cultures, and stories waiting to be told! 

Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers, 

Leo
