Hello! My name is Leonid Zhukov.
I’m sports photographer based in Saint-Petersburg.
I’m specialized in sports photography: taking pictures of competitions
all over the World, team photographer, advertising sports images,
athlete shooting.
I’ve covered events for International Cyclists Union UCI for five years; staff photographer at Russian Climbing Federation; photographer at Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Used to organize Mountain bike and extreme sports events before becoming a photographer. So I know exactly, how to show an event in a best attractive way and how to fit athlete, spectators and sponsors into one frame. For example, like this:
UCI Trials World Cup in Antwerp, Belgium
Russian Olympic Committee photo contest 2nd place; Nikon Russia photo contest winner; Red Bull Illume finalist.
My work
I capture the beauty of sports. I cover competitions of all levels from a local tournaments to Oluympic games, make commercial sports photo shootings for brands and teams, perform creative sports projects.
My key feauters
Working fast
Fast pictures delivery straing from the field.
Following client’s brief
Should you have no clear idea, I can help making a concept for the shooting.
Creativity
Sports photography isn’t boring! This is motion and energy! Always looking for unusual angles.

Что не снимаю и как не работаю
Я не снимаю без подготовки и без идеи. Не снимаю свадьбы. Не снимаю марафоны для фотосервисов. Не работаю по бартеру и в долг.
Let’s get started!
Usually I’m spending 1/3 of the year on the sports trips. So it’s better to discuss a shooting in advance. Feel free to message me in English or German!
