Photographer
I am a documentary storyteller and visual artist of Latvian origin, currently based in the UK’s capital.Recent graduate from BA Photographic Arts at the University of Westminster, I work as a freelance photographer, specializing in reportage and portraiture.
Both my visual and written work has appeared in numerous national and international publications and has been exhibited in the UK and abroad.
A lot of my personal work is concerned with the issues of migration and cultural identity, as I reflect on my personal experience of growing up in the post-Soviet Latvia and immigrating to the West in late teens. What makes people to identify themselves as representatives of a particular culture, what are the manifestations of the national identity and how do they change when the person moves to live in another country are the questions that inspire many of my projects.

Irving Penn / The BathSep 23 – Nov 30, 2923What I remember is the purity of the relationship of these young people and an innocence so different from today’s.

Ich bin anders, weil ich kann das. Stranger belongs to meOct 26, 2023 – Jan 21, 2024“Can we imagine a country we can all belong to, where citizenship is claimed through acts of love and care, where the ‘foreigner’ resides within each of us, and is that yet unknown, unfamiliar part of us, within us, that we seek to get to know? The search for knowledge requires us to welcome the stranger, and become a stranger to ourselves at the same time, in order to truly know ourselves and each other”. (more…)
