Belarusian artist Jurij Treskow was drawn to the world of photography not by a fascination with cameras but by the intoxicating lifestyle of high end fashion. It happened when he was still a student, when a friend’s cousin, a model, visited from Lithuania. “She would tell us stories of her travels, the world of fashion, and photo shoots,” Treskow says.
Needless to say, he was intrigued. Treskow and the woman sparked a brief romance, and when it ended he was determined to live in the world of fashion, photography, and, of course, glamorous women. “I started taking pictures of models in Brest, Moscow, Berlin, Paris, New York—everywhere I went. Soon enough, I quit my studies in economics and started circling the globe, photographing beautiful women for a living.”
