In my creative community in Lisbon UNIWAY where I was doing different cozy events for Russian-speaking people, one of the most popular teachers was Anastasia. In addition to the master class on neurographic art and still life drawing, she also introduced me and our guests to an unusual form of art - wine painting.
The tea ceremony was one of my favourite events that we do in my creative community called UNIWAY thanks to the tea master Alexandra, my guests and I learned a lot about tea traditions, unique tastes and aromas of tea, and were able to spend time in a pleasant homely atmosphere.
POLI NIKA is the indie-pop singer-songwriter with warm and delicate vocal, deep expressive lyrics, warm lamp images and music with a lot of lightness. Her songs are like soundtracks to a great movie, where there is a place for true love, romance and dreams. When I did for her a photoshoot from a rehearsal, she invited me also to take photos from her concert in Lisbon.
When I lived in Lisbon, I organized creative events for adults and children. I created a unique soulful space at my home, where we, together with various creativity teachers, were making small cozy events. The art of neurography was one of them, which we made together with Anastasia.
Another event of UNIWAY - the creative community of Russian speaking people, created by me in Lisbon - is an workshop on still life drawing. Anastasia introduced the guests to this genre of fine art and they painted a nice composition from a vase with flowers.

Maria invited me as a photographer at her birthday party in Lisbon. The event was small, but filled with comfort, gifts, laughter, happiness and sincere conversations. And these are the happiest and the funniest moments from the party I was able to capture.
This was our joint collaboration with Irina, a guide in Lisbon. She made a tour of the New Year's Eve city: told stories, introduced us to new tastes and aromas, and charged us with a festive mood. And I caught the most beautiful moments from this warm and inspiring city walk.
This Art Journey was about depth, connection, and creative energy. Girls sailed, painted, watched the sunset, and shared moments. I was lucky to be there as a photographer - to capture the beauty, the emotion and the magic between women. It was soft, strong, and unforgettable.
This is a small bar in Kallithea that I found recently. I wanted to help them grow, and offered a brand shoot of their event and cocktails. Guys were truly surprised that I managed to catch not only “the taste” of drinks, but also the genuine emotions of their customers.
A seminar dedicated to the practice of Iaido - a Japanese martial art built on precision, control, and presence. Every movement is intentional, shaped by discipline, strength and focus. It was my first time seeing it in real life, and I really enjoyed capturing these moments.
To these constellations sessions, everyone came with their own experiences and questions. While I was photographing, I could feel how present everyone was. Capturing moments like this remind me that photography is more than images - it’s about capturing real emotions.
I collaborate with Yellow Square Hostel as an event photographer, capturing the atmosphere of their rooftop events and social gatherings. From live music and themed parties to workshops and sunset sessions, my goal is to document real moments.
A great board games night that was organised by Nomad Hub in Yellow Square Hostel. I was glad to support the event as a sponsor and capture the atmosphere through my lens. It felt simple and genuine: playing together, meeting new people, and enjoying a night in good company.
