Mikhail Protasevich

I was born in Leningrad, USSR (St.Petersburg, Russia) in 1984. I has been photographing since 2006 and I came to photography through painting. For me, photography is the way of researching people, the world they live in, and their mutual influence. Therefore, long-term projects are most interesting to me.
