About
My name is Oleg. I was born in Latvia in 1984. Now i’m based in Turin (Italy) and I’m working as Webmaster in industrial manufacturing company. I’ve been in love with photography since 1998, when my father had sent me a compact camera as a gift for my 14-th birthday. Now photography has become in part my job, hobby and lifestyle. I love abandoned places and nightlife. In these places i do many photos and collect many reports.
At present I’m experimenting with the creation of the 360° panoramas and HDR images. I collect old Soviet and Russian Cameras but I don’t have many yet, since I started in September 2008.
