Biography
I have been photographing sailing and yacht racing for six years. I discovered this world in Sochi and fell in love with it from the very beginning.
Since then, my camera has taken me to sailing events around the world. I love capturing the raw energy of racing, the beauty of the sea, the power of the wind, and the emotions of people who share a passion for sailing.
In 2024, I was honoured to take second place in the Yacht Racing Image Award, an achievement that inspired me to keep pushing my creative boundaries.
My dream is to photograph some of the world’s most prestigious sailing competitions, such as the America’s Cup and SailGP, and to capture the action from a helicopter a completely different perspective on the beauty and intensity of yacht racing.
For me, sailing photography is about more than boats and competition. It’s about capturing the feeling of being out there, surrounded by the sea, wind, and freedom.
