For long years I photographed results, products of work, but for some time already, I’ve been more interested in relationship between a man and a subject of his work, between a man and his work as a subject itself.

Nearly all the jobs I shot I’ve tried my own hands. Besides surgery. But I actually was a builder, constructor, geologist, barman, docker, tractor driver, drilling master, QA-tester etc. It gives me an understanding of happening in the scene, which helps to select the most dramatic or significant moment to take the camera up.

After the most dramatic time in my life when I undergone the real crisis, I determined to change an environment. And in contrary to those, who travel to indian ashrams or to chinise monasteries, I'd decided to move to the middle-eastern desert, where I'd been working more then three years as a locksmith. I haven't loved much this work, but I've really fallen in love with the people I worked with. And they become my best models.
