I\u2019ve been shooting black and white and then color film. It was sort of a background hobby.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>After I graduated I had worked for a product package design studio for about 10 years before I joined Doberman. It was the place where I first met professional product photographers. I was really impressed by what they were doing. Among other things I have been part of food photography, some splash photography etc. That was truly invaluable experience. As I say \u2013 I was really impressed by what our product photographers did but somehow never considered myself being a professional product photographer.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I came to Doberman with the idea to expand it to fully integrated creative and production studio.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We turned photography and retouching into something bigger \u2013 casting, stylists, visagists, shooting logistics, 3D graphics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read more in&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/doberman-studio-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Photigy&#8217;s Interview with Max Plotnikov and Doberman Studio team<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Portfolio: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dobermanstudio.ru\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #cc0000;\">www.dobermanstudio.ru<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nFacebook: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dobermanstudio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #cc0000;\">www.facebook.com\/dobermanstudio<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=&#8221;3.17.1&#8243;
