He began his professional career in his youth, focusing on everyday life and socially significant topics. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, his work has focused on documenting the war and its consequences, including frontline areas, sites of shelling, liberated territories, and the lives of civilians and military personnel in regions affected by the conflict.
