Ruslan Bolgov was born in 1974 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, on the shores of the Baltic Sea. His earliest photographs were taken as a teenager, but he didn’t take the experience very far at the time. It wasn’t until the end of his studies in economics and finance that he seriously applied himself. He bought a full-frame camera, whose image sensor was the same size as the sensor of an analog camera and started to take pictures of landscapes. He developed a taste for it and tried his hand at portraits of women with some success. Although he has kept his job as an executive in the port industry, photography started to gain increasing importance in his life and he now appears among the international Who’s Who of the Photographic Society of America (PSA).
