I was born in late November 1995 in the stanitsa of Dinskaya, Krasnodar Krai. Soon after, my family moved to Krasnodar, where I attended kindergarten and then primary school. After completing the 4th grade, my parents transferred me to a military-oriented boarding school located in the city of Tuapse. It seems to be called the “Tuapse Maritime Cadet Corps,” where I studied until the 9th grade. This school definitely taught me to be punctual and disciplined, which still helps me to this day. Then I took the Unified State Exam (EGE) and transferred to a mechanical engineering college in the city of Krasnodar, where I received a diploma of secondary vocational education. Of course, being young, I didn’t know what I wanted to become or what I really liked, what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My first job was as a delivery driver. I was only 18 years old and had just obtained my driver’s license a week earlier when I started working as a driver. I didn’t work there for long, thankfully, as there were no incidents, and I even gained a lot of experience driving oversized vehicles. Then I took odd jobs, worked on construction sites, as a taxi driver, courier, just like everyone else. One day, I noticed a vacancy for a foreman, and I decided to test my skills and knowledge. I went for an interview, where I honestly admitted that I had no experience in this field but had the desire and ambition. Perhaps the director saw something in me and gave me a chance. He told me to take a level and go and complete a project they were working on at that time. I went without hesitation, knowing that I could handle this task. The task was not easy… I had to pave the terrace of a house with asphalt with a slope of 3 mm per 1 meter in length and do it in such a way that water would not accumulate anywhere. If you’re a builder, you’ll understand. After completing this project, I came to the office, where the director already told me to bring my documents for employment. I worked in this field for 2 years and achieved very significant results. My parents moved to Turkey to the city of Alanya while I was still in college. I had been living independently since I was 15 years old. So, I had no room for error, and it always helped me achieve my goals. One day, when I had become a section chief, my mom called and said that they were planning to start their own business, growing lavender, and they needed my help. But for this, I needed to quit my job, pack my whole life into one suitcase, and move to another country. I thought for a long time, but then agreed and started preparing. I sold my car, paid off all my loans accumulated during the COVID period. And the day of departure came. My ticket was for 23:50 Moscow time. At about 14:00, my stepfather called and said that plans had changed, and the business would not work out. I was not in the best condition because the ticket had already been bought, and my things were packed. I didn’t know what I would do in another country without knowing English and Turkish. In the end, I went to Alanya. Alanya is a Turkish resort on the Mediterranean coast. Rich in history, beautiful beaches, Alara Castle, a popular tourist city with a variety of entertainment and delicious Turkish cuisine. In general, I fell in love with this city! For several weeks, I lived with my parents in the city of Alanya, in the Tosmur district, while looking for separate accommodation. It was July outside, scorching heat. I started exploring the city, swimming, and, secondarily, looking for work. After some time, I got a job at a greenhouse growing dragon fruits. It was a real challenge for me. To work in the hot Turkish summer, and in a greenhouse where the temperature was +50. It was while working in this greenhouse that I had long thoughts about what I liked and what I wanted to become. When I was in college, I enjoyed playing the computer game “Warface.” I saved my best moments from the game, videos, and photos. Then I learned to edit these moments in Adobe Premiere Pro. And I want to say that I enjoyed video editing, I liked this process. I also loved traveling around the Krasnodar Territory and taking various photos on my phone and editing them in various phone apps. While working in the greenhouse, I remembered all this, and I had the idea to bring my pleasant feelings to life. I started reading materials on videography, photography, and editing. By this time, I had already rented accommodation in the Avsallar area and lived separately from my parents. Friends came to visit me, and I told them my idea, it greatly interested them, and we started doing it together. With the money we had saved, I bought a Sony A37 camera, a ZHIYUN Crane m2 electronic stabilizer, a DJI Mavic mini drone, and an Asus Tuf Gaming laptop. I also started learning Turkish and English languages, and we started shooting. The camera was very weak, it was practically impossible to take pictures with it, so we learned
