Backstory:
Yura became interested in photography at age 12, when his grandfather gave him an old film camera. At first, he photographed nature and pets, then switched to people. At school, he was often considered "the quiet one," but he didn't worry—he was content with the company of his best friend, whom he met in elementary school.

One day, Yura accidentally captured a fight between two high school students. Instead of showing the photo to his teachers, he gave it to the participants, saying, "This is what it looks like from the outside. Maybe we should talk about it?" This changed his perspective on photography.
