What? Where? When?

Little story about me and my creative fulfillment

My name is Mikhail, and I stock up on impressions, trying to preserve them in my photos. I am a full-time stock photographer with a IT background which I use to optimize my work.

TRAVELARIUM — is my introspective manifestations of my endless desire for adventure and pathological hoarding of new experiences.

My shots illustrate an action, a concept, or this is tactile attempts to feel time and learn as much as possible about the events, places, and beings around me. I have had many professions, through which I developed my awareness and imagination. I also try not to ignore the development of modern technologies and try my hand at working with AI-photos/illustrations and AI-video. Artificial intelligence greatly simplify many processes, speeding up routine work and expanding the possibilities of our imagination. 
I’m happy to share my creativity with you 😉
