"The pressure" (2005) Photography by Yana Zerkalova

My name is Yana Zerkalova.
I was born 13/08/1979 in Sukhumi -- the capital of former state of Abkhazia, Georgia at
present . In the 1991, after war in Abkhazia i moved to Greece and then to Ukraine, now I live in Ukraine. I am Russian and I speak russian and english. I present myself as an independent international photo-artist.
My art-photo is my only sight of the world.
I have experience as an architect, interior designer , furniture designer, clothes designer, designer of small architectural forms, stylist and visagiste. I studied architecture in the Architectural Institute and I worked as designer for five years in different design studios in Odessa. Five years ago I have left the architecture and design career and got engaged in a photography. The photography enables me to feel internal creative freedom.
