Oleg Photographer
"In some Ukrainian and Russian circles, you must have Gucci
shoes, LV bags and Oleg shooting your portrait."
Currently based in Budapest, Oleg almost became a fashion designer
but at the very last moment ticked fashion photography on his
university admission form. The Soviet-made little camera he used as
a child and his early fashion muse, the girl next door (who
desperately dreamed of becoming a supermodel), all converged into
one drive; seven years later Oleg is the toast of Ukraine and
Russia's rich and fashionable. The girl next door became a
professional model.
His vision is larger-than-life, shooting fantasy images for clients
including Jaguar, Volvo,
Playboy Magazine and Bel Ami.
"It's almost like a pretty little lie: I take reality and give it a
different angle, put it in a different light, add to it something
bizarre, or another colour, and make it a turbo-reality, something
shocking one," he explains. "Every picture is different, totally
unique."
Oleg is represented by Look Agency.
