Hi, my name is Ivan (aka Dark Glass) and I currently live in the heart of Russia, in the magnificent Moscow.

Since my early years I have been immersed in the world of painting, and in 2020 I discovered the amazing world of photography. In my creations I strive to capture the fleetingness of life, evoking reflections on how memories intertwine with the present. My photographs are a meditative black and white symphony, a grainy palette and a slight fog effect together create the illusion of time passing, immersing the viewer in an enchanting atmosphere.

Each image is not just a frame, it is a story, pulsating with the rhythm of life, soaring high and filling the heart. I hope that in my works there will be room for reflections, feelings and emotions that unite people and remind us that even the most fleeting can be eternal.

I do not strive for commercial success, it is more important for me to convey to the viewer the sincerity of my experiences and make them feel a connection with something greater than themselves. Photography for me is a way to explore the world, myself, my feelings, and share these discoveries with others.

In the future, I plan to expand the boundaries of my creativity, try myself in other genres, perhaps in color. But one thing will remain unchanged - the desire for sincerity and the desire to capture beauty in the simplest and most inconspicuous moments of life.
