More about Yakov K....

What do you love about your job?

It’s all about “If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life”. Sorry for using a popular quote. Sometimes I ask myself if I would still be a photographer if no need for money and the answer is always Yes. Hope it’s a good sign.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

It’s impossible to invent something new for every photoshoot when you have done hindreds and hundreds not to say thousands of them. I assume it’s much more important to remain faithful to your idea of harmony. Whenever you reach harmony you find beauty.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

In 2016 I was awarded by Russian Academy of Arts for a significant contribution to the development of visual arts.

A fun fact about this photographer

I went for a photoshoot right after I finished my diploma speech. And managed to get back by the results announcement. With a tripod in my hands :)
