CHALANOV IVAN

Professional landscape and advertising photographer

  • I have been into photography since 2014. Self-taught. I continuously continue to learn new things, collect knowledge bit by bit.
  • Since 2020, he left his office job to earn money with what he loves.
  • For many years of training and practice, he mastered the most advanced methods of shooting and processing. I will complete any task.
  • Born and raised in the Komi Republic. Indigenous inhabitant of the north. I speak my native language and do not forget. Love for northern nature is forever. The North is full of contrasts — harsh and generous, sultry and chilling, gloomy and motley.
  • Most of all I like shooting landscapes and complex advertising projects related to nature.
