STATEMENT [In Russian]. There exists a definite border between photography and cinematography and my goal is to overcome this division. Even though it has never been my priority to accurately reproduce history, I have always attempted to convey the spirit of the era during in which these legendary automobiles were produced.

Every photo shoot is preceded by thorough research of the era. When and under what conditions a particular vehicle model was produced sets the theme.

The majority of my photographs are the result of a classically arranged photo shoot. The actors, costumes, hair, makeup, setting, and props are all fashioned to the standards of the era.  Although each of the photographic series on each site is presented only partially, the collection taken in its entirety tells a story.

The term "Photo-Clipping" would best describe my collection.  The series of pictures tells a "moving" story using still images. Most of photographs on this site were taken between 2002 and 2008 for a Russian automotive magazines Autopilot produced by the Kommersant Publishing and Trend, Moscow, Russia.
