My name is Daniil Kontorovich, also be exhibited under the name of Tertius Alio, which translated from Latin means the observer or grated face.

I’m from St. Petersburg. Istudied at a graphic designer, but gave up in the third year, seriously fascinated by photography. For me, the camera and post-processing was a better tool for the transfer of my inner world. Not knowing the laws of photos I get enough interesting shots, with its history. The fact that I had previously experienced with pictorial plane gave my photos intuitive clarity. It’s catchy. I have never been interested in commercial orders, I have the freedom to express. I got it when he first presented master classes and teaching people – the perfect compromise! I like to teach, maybe it’s hereditary – my grandfather was a teacher in history. Rarely do a series of shots, I often solitary portraits, concentrates in itself all the stress of the moment. I always liked to catch peeping views directly into the soul of the viewer.

In my work I am a perfectionist, I try to think through all the details, but it is more likely for post-processing, and not shooting. I like the randomness of the frame. Now in me struggling photographer and an artist – you want to make a more realistic pictures, live, but not to lose an existing architectural style and atmosphere, achievable dorisovki.

My main advice to all photographers – do you like that, do not be fooled and do not pursue recognition. Having found yourself you will get noticed.
