His thoughts about photography:

"From the formal point of view photography is perceived as painting / snapshot, which can be easily defined as work of painting. This issue is as old as invention of photography. In the initial period of development, lasted discussions whether or not photography become substitute of painting. The history of development of both branches of art clearly shows that those fears were unjustifiable, because the borders stayed indelible. Only because of the technique photograph become separate area of plasticity. Photograph is just a picture consisted of matter and light. But the technique is not enough to create the photograph, it should support the photographer, should be comply with him. The equipment is important, but the final effect is the most important. Then the technique fades away, its part is running out. It materialize finished effect, however application of photographic techniques only for registration of parts of reality exclude element of creation, which is necessary in art. I want this picture become my picture, I want it to fulfill my expectations for its form and included content. I can’t imagine creating such pictures on computer, because every effect you want to obtain should be properly program from the very beginning, many parameters should be set and so on. I am not equal to programming tensions which rule photoghaphic plan, so spontaneous is key matter for me in creative process. It is priority.

Music is very important inspiration for me, it stimulate internal irresistible need of creating. In work over this project this need was strongly present. The pictures can easily exist autonomous / independent, without music. But this co-existence is a challenge. Boarder of picture stay unfamiliar, physical boarders of course exist , but sense / point is exceeding far away beyond its frames, it aims to infinity."
