About
Hello, Earth!
My name in Nadine, I’m a artist with a camera.
I devote my free time to shoots, which I organize myself — everything from models to locations and concepts — and I get nothing for it except people’s love. Here’s my story.
In 2009 I’ve dropped out of Arts School after studying here for 7 years.
In 2012 I’ve dropped out of university, where I had studied Translations.
In 2013 I got myself my first camera and began to learn how to shoot — it was mostly conventions and cosplays back then, but I loved it. Some days I did a whole coverage of a convent — hundreds of fast photos.
That year I’ve learned how to work with studio equipment. I’ve met a very special friend — we did a couple of photos as a test and later she went to a model school. Some time later she actually got a job in modeling and participated in Russian Fashion Week.
Funny thing, I’ve started to learn Photoshop much earlier than I got camera, so I knew a few things beforehand. But it was a long way to a proper retouch — I stumbled and fell, but I didn’t give up.
In 2014 my photo was used as a cover for a book by Nora Roberts.
Therefore after some time I felt that I was able make changes, I wanted to act — so I’ve got myself a job in advertisement. I worked as a copywriter, but it actually helped me to shoot better — now I could create a whole story in a frame.
In 2015 I’ve appeared in a short-list in a contest for Climate Diplomacy Day and the photo was on an exhibition in Moscow Darwin Museum.
In 2017 did a collaboration with a famous cosplayer. Several of my photos has won Editor’s choice on ViewBug, others had been made into prints and successfully sold in China.
In 2019 another friend of mine, who I encouraged to pursue a model career is going to Shanghai to work.
I’ve come a long way. I do this for love, and I have the ability to do it for much more.
