About Mind On Photography
An artist behind the camera. A family beside the work.
Ivan, Julia, and a boutique team serving Boston and Cape Cod with personal communication from the first question onward.
Ivan Djikaev
From physics to fashion photography — then a studio built around people.
Ivan grew up expecting to follow his family into physics, spent fifteen years running a technology company, and then changed direction. He studied art history and photography, assisted an established photographer, and opened a fashion studio.
After Ivan and Julia left Russia in 2012, he continued photographing in the US and founded Mind On Photography in 2014. That fashion background now informs weddings, portraits, families, and commercial work without asking people to perform like models.
