Pictures was taken in Chefchaouen, the ancient Moroccan city, also known
as the "blue city". First of all I was impressed by the houses that had
been painted in all shades from dark blue to light blue and lots of cats.

I was born in 1981 in Moscow region, Russia. I'm an amateur photographer, a programmer by profession. I became interested in photography in high school under the influence of my friends. My favorite genres of photography: landscape, macro, travel. I love to travel and try to convey through photography the atmosphere of the places where I manage to visit. I participated in several collective photographic exhibitions in Russia and have several awards from FIAP salons.
