I feel people deeply, and through my photography I aim to reveal their authentic essence, inner beauty, and the potential within them.

My favorite type of art to create is photography and videography. I love capturing emotions, moments, and the true essence of people through my lens. It feels like a way to tell stories without words. I also love dance it’s another form of expression for me. Through movement, I can feel freedom, energy, and connection with music.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by nature especially water, trees, and mountains and movement travel, dance, music. I believe in love, kindness, and choosing light, even when it’s hard. And my family my parents and friends inspire me every day.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would open a photography studio and invest in the tools to keep growing my work. I would also set aside $3,000 to support a young creative with a camera or laptop. I was born and raised in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan, and I took my first photos on my father’s camera. Early on, I had to let go of equipment I wasn’t ready to sustain that experience shaped me, strengthened my path, and continues to drive me to grow, create something meaningful, and give back by support
