Ilya Rashap is one of the most successful and cited Russian photographers, a talented teacher, and a journalist — a rare combination of qualities in one person. Ilya’s creative works are sold in galleries in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Beijing, Tokyo, etc., and are exhibited in Russia and Europe. Great experience in the field of commercial photography allows Ilya to successfully cooperate with major customers across the country and implement large-scale projects of any complexity.
