Mikhail Vladimirovich Vdovin, artist photographer, started drawing at the age of 4. At the age of 8, he had already realized that knowing how to draw was his most important and powerful desire. His first drawing lessons were given to him by his main teacher, who was an artist by training. It was this first teacher who encouraged his artistic development and advised his parents to enroll him in a children's art school. He passed the entrance exams at the age of 11 and successfully entered this school.

After graduating, he was admitted to an art school in Bryansk, specializing as an "artist-decorator" (modern equivalent of designer). During his training, he studied disciplines such as drawing, painting, composition, typography and photography. He successfully completed his studies in 1990 and returned to his hometown where he worked in different companies, developing his skills in photography, graphic design, prepress and printing technologies.

Mikhail is currently a member of the Guild of Photographers of Russia and continues to work as a typographic and advertising designer. His passion for photography led him to explore this artistic field, capturing unique moments through his lens. His graphic design skills also enrich his photographic work by allowing him to create visually appealing and balanced compositions.

He lives and works in Kaluga, Russia. Born in 1971, Mikhail Vladimirovich Vdovin continues his artistic career as a photographer and designer, using his knowledge and experience to create captivating images and designs.
