Interview with Ivan

1. Welcome to Yearbook Ivan, how old are you?
22

2. What part of the world are you from?
Moscow, Russia

3. Are you a student, if so, what are you studying?
Yes, I’m a student and I am studying World Economics

4. You take some cool self-portraits, do you prefer photographing yourself or other models?
I prefer both 🙂 Actually, it depends on my mood, some interesting locations and free time. I love to take self-portraits because I know that nobody will make it better than I 🙂

5. Name 3 of your favourite music artists?
I love music, it inspires me. I have a lot of favourite artists, but 3 of them include: Zero 7, Disclosure, and Beyonce

6. Which photographers inspire you?
I regret there are not certain photographers who inspire me, as every day it is someone new. But recently I was inspired by the works of Kenny Sweeney.

7. What do you get up to in your spare time?
Now I devote all my free time to my diploma. Very soon I graduate from the institute, for this purpose it is necessary to perform the thesis. And not to forget as to photograph, sometimes I keep the camera in hand 🙂

8. Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
If you mean a country or city, I think it will be London or NY 😉
