Ever since I moved from Moscow, Russia to New York City at the age of 10, I was fascinated by the fast paced lifestyle that I was around, all the different architecture and all the different people made me want to capture that time in my life. That’s around the time I picked up my first camera, although never pursuing it till moving to Columbus in 2000 when I started to pick up skateboarding and snowboarding and with it came this creative urge to learn everything about art and just living the lifestyle. At first it was filming everyone and everything while being a skate rat with my friends and eventually leading to picking up my camera again. Although I currently go to OSU for International Business instead of photography as my major made me interested in photography even more. The thrill of figuring something on your own, taking a picture and saying “yeah I did that!” makes me want to keep doing it. In the beginning of my College years I got a job at Life Touch studios as a lead photographer and I’m still currently there till this day, after taking thousands of photographs there over my career, I’ve done sessions ranging from babies, engagement and families to pets, seniors, groups and much more. I approach my photographs with a modern photojournalistic yet classical feel and try to capture candid moments that would last a lifetime, I hope this website gives you a small glimpse of who I am, as well as a small part of my portfolio, as you can probably tell I’m sort of new in the website world, but I hope with the help of this site and my clients this website will grow and with it so will I. Thanks to everyone who’s ever helped me get to where I’m at today. I thank you for visiting my website and learning a little bit more about me. - Ilya Savenok
