I decided to shoot about 2 years ago. Basically, it's my personal projects - free of clients, deadlines and the routine common for commercial photo. I like that I can spend the whole day looking at an object of my shooting, but don't making a single picture. It's my project. Definitely. But I am still fulltime art director in the agency Leo Burnett and I love it much. It helps me accumulate my skills and ideas from different fields to realize them in photography as well. For now, I have more than 50 national and international awards and have been named one of the "200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide" by Luerzer's Archive.
