I was born and raised in Kyrgyzstan. A land so beautiful that you always want to capture it on a photo. As a kid I used to take our cows to the mountains, and as I was riding my horse I'd think it'd be so great to show this to people. I inherited a soviet camera called Smena and took black and white photos, mainly because black and white film was cheap. And that's how my journey as a photographer started... Well, I should call myself a photographer. Everyone is a photographer nowadays. I don't know, I do it for me. I like to capture beauty. I think you live your life for nothing if you don't learn to see beauty in simple things
