ABOUT ME

 

My name is Anton Bondarev, I was born in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

Lefty, i loved painting and writing class while i was in school.

Cinema, music and online games influenced me a lot.

My father, a sailor, gifted me a camera from overseas when I was about twelve, and i became obsessed with photography ever since.

It's like you have an extra vision and a point of view, invisible to others. 

Almost 20 years of photography experience and my  subtle perception of things gave me unique vision, i can see beauty in everyday's life.

Memories from childhood and youth makes me happy.

Sometimes life was tough, but most of the time it was a truly wonderful journey.

Worked in USA in 2011, then came back to finish my specialist degree in psychology.

Got stabbed in a drunk fight, survived, moved to Moscow in 2015, left in 2022 after invasion of Ukraine. Currently in Los Angeles, USA.

While in USA I started to experiment with AI, envisioning current affairs of Russian political regime and mocking Russian propaganda machine.

Our life plans were destroyed on the early morning of the February 24rd, 2022, and so many innocent and brave people died since that day.

I condemn Putin and Russian political regime.
