Hello, I'm Vladimir

Originally from Russia, I spent 2 wonderful years living in Vietnam before moving to Germany in December 2015. Those 2 years in South East Asia changed how I see the world: the colors, the chaos, the warmth. Since then, I've returned to Asia multiple times, and was lucky to visit USA and South Africa as a part of my job.

Today I live in Berlin with my wife and our 2 kids. Our family loves to travel, and we try to make it a part of our life. This is how we recharge and find ourselves again ... well, at least we try :)

Why photography

Photography became my way of holding onto moments. The lighthouse at dawn in Brittany, the sunset over Cape Town, the quiet of a German forest. These are not just images, they are reminders of why we travel, why we seek beauty, and why we need to pause.

Why this website

I built this site myself in React, Ruby, AWS, all of it, because coding is my other hobby. I wanted to have one place for my photos. Not scattered across Instagram or lost in a private cloud storage.
