About

I was born in Ukraine, spent my teenage years in Israel and now I call New York City my home.

Sports and fitness are a large part of my life for last two decades - from mid-distance running and road cycling to sprinting and currently CrossFit. In the beginning of 2023 I finished CrossFit Open in 92nd percentile in the world in my age group. That's why becoming a sports and fitness photographer became the natural path to take in my photography career.

Understanding from a first person perspective how the human body moves and performs allows me easily to work and communicate with fitness professionals and athletes. It also gives me an edge in seeing the work from an athlete's perspective to make sure it resonates with fitness professionals and athletes. To make sure the coaches perspective is covered as well, in the beginning of 2022 I finished CF-L1 certification and started to coach a couple of hours a week at the CrossFit gym where I work out.

I take the time to research and learn about the sport I'm photographing. It's very important to me to capture the natural movements and authentic feeling of that activity, so that anyone viewing the image can experience that moment to the fullest.

I'm always fascinated by the beauty and the abilities of human body, so I'm constantly excited to find new ways to show this through my images.
