Sergei Zjuganov has had a very unusual year in 2024. Working with his regular clients, which included Toyota, Nissan, and Porsche, he was also able to bring on some new business, including a prestigious luxury car manufacturer with headquarters in the UK and a few other smaller but well-known brands in the automotive sector. Positive feedback from potential connections and the expectation that greater challenges lie ahead.

Commencing with a documentary project, where Sergei Zjuganov is honing his directing and scenario-writing skills, is another significant milestone. This historical documentary explores Estonian car culture during the turbulent 1990s, a period marked by significant changes in the country's politics, economy, and government. The film features interviews with 90s automotive personalities, never-before-seen archive material, and a collection of iconic cars that have withstood the test of time. By the summer of 2025, the film will be completed and released in theaters and film festivals.

Sergei is available for any projects you may be considering, be it an image library shoot, a model campaign, or a creative series. Sergei's team is at ease working on lifestyle, product images shot in studio or on location, or even a full CGI production.
