Every time I go to Greenland it’s like landing on another planet, where time flows at a different pace and Day and Night are sometimes confused about their duties.

About author:

I was born in a remote Russian Far East on the shores of Sea of Okhotsk, raised in the steppes of Southern Kazakhstan, and worked and lived all over the world since then.

My family, working in the Soviet military, traveled around the former Soviet Union, including less known areas where polar bears roam freely, the aurora borealis can be seen for months, and the indigenous chukchas live in seal skin covered yarangas.

For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by stories of far-away places and cultures different than mine. I've been fortunate to travel to many regions of the world, and I chose photography as a means to share the beauty and the people and the lands I discovered.
