I was born on April 17th, 1961 in Buzuluk — a town in the Orenburg region. I live and work in Empuriabrava.

I started to jump in 1978. I have been taking photos and making films since 2001. At present time I have 5000+ jumps.

I photographed Russia’s Records in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010. I worked as a photographer at the Thai Sky Festival.

I can pilot Velositi-79 and Katanu-97.

Apparatus:
Canon-5D MARK II — photo and Sony HDR – CX105E — video.

Anatomic helmet made by Valery Ippolitov.

As many of us, in my childhood, I took pictures on the ground. When I became interested in parachuting I wanted to capture the beauty around us while falling. When I saw sky dive operators’ works I understood that was mine.

I give priority to pictures but nevertheless I like video.
My favourite genre is everything that is happening in the air…

To all the guests of my site I wish success in our most interesting sport, making more beautiful figures and safe landings.
