Greg Khitrov
; Art, 5-6


My name is Greg Khitrov I have been a certified professional photographer in NY for over 2 decades. I am an owner and operator of Treasure the Moments Photography (www.treasurethemoments.net) My primary interest is photographing people, mainly documenting their special events and making their memories last a lifetime. I love everything about photography, from the toys (my cameras and computer equipment) to the feeling that I get when I get THE shot. People always ask me where I went to school to learn photography. The truth is, I never went to school to formally learn the art and technical aspects of photography. My grandfather gave me my first camera when I was only 5 years old and my love for preserving tiny moments in life have begun. At age 14 my family immigrated to US, of course I went to school, while in school i have continued to work on the art that was coming from my heart. At age 16 I started to photograph weddings with a huge medium format camera (no digital cameras available yet) Now I try to balance my passion for creating ageless moments to teaching little kids, not so much the techniques but training their eyes and opening up their minds to seeing things that I have been seeing through the tiny viewfinder of my cameras. Though my course is designed to teach kids to see things differently, the class is also open to adults who wish to learn technical aspects of their own cameras.
