It's hard to say what you would be if you weren't what you were. I became interested in photography long ago, maybe in my teens. Dragged to perpetuate what I see, wondering what is just this moment. Later, I realized that I was fascinated by people: everyone with their own story reflected on their face. So I started the portraitist path. I realized I needed to improve my skills. 2015 I completed the Photography Technique and Art Photography Training Course organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania. I have been drawing on the experience of well-known photographer Tomas Brazinskas for many years. Under his supervision, Brazzi Photo School received a Certificate of Success in Masterclass in Retro Photography and Retouching. My work was also evaluated in 2015. In the competition of photographers of adult education institutions “On the Way of Knowledge” organized by Klaip?da Adult Gymnasium. The work in the "Martial Arts" competition took the 1st place. While in the US, I discovered a film camera. Currently, I am intensively interested in analog photography. I totally agree with the point made by South African photographer David Goldblatt: The camera alone does not make a human photographer like a pen does not make him a writer. For a good photographer, learning how to think is key. This is what I strive for in my works.
