My name is Rodion Yefymov, I was born in 1980 in the North of Crimea in a little town called Krasnoperekopsk. We then moved to a larger town, Yevpatoria, situated on the Crimean Peninsula, then part of the Soviet Union now known as Ukraine.
I started school in 1987 and was studying untill i've been enrolled at the Military Cadet Lyceum at Donetck in 1994 After two years I decided such a structured environment wasn't right for me as I enjoyed my freedom too much. I then decided to move back to Crimea to continue my education. At this point I had to decide what to do with my life and who I wanted to be. It was a hard decision as I wanted to try all different things but everything in my country was changing rapidly so I decided on management and left for university where I studied for two years.
I was doing really well, my friend and I had our own company selling health products and we had plenty of money. I could do what I wanted but unfortunately, I tried drugs. Obviously it was very upsetting for my family and myself. Once I had reached rock bottom I knew I had to change my life. I found a new direction and meaning that has made me so much more fulfilled as a person.
In 2000 my parents arranged for me to go to London to see my older brother. I began learning English and started work in a nightclub. I still did not know what to do with my life until I thought about the last time I saw my grandfather in 1987. He was a keen photographer and I still remember his old Kiev and Zorkii cameras and how he taught me about exposure, shutter speeds etc. Most of all I remember that magical feeling of developing my first picture in the dark room.
Now I can definitely say photography is in my blood. I am still young with fresh and exciting ideas and always learning from all around me. I believe photography is an art form that should touch peoples hearts and stimulate their thoughts. The main areas I would like to eventually explore are photojournalism and cinematography. These would allow me to combine my love of photography with my passion for writing enabling me to share my thoughts and emotions with others.
What does photography mean to me?

Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human trafficking...understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ... what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...
it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...
what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...
please reach deeply into your heart and soul and join a movement that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
