Meet Ruslan Selivanov
Your story deserves to be seen with care.
I'm a Knoxville photographer drawn to the moments that happen between the expected ones—a hand on a shoulder, a room lifted in song, the deep breath before “I do,” and the laughter that makes a family photograph feel alive.
From Sunday worship and ministry milestones to weddings, portraits, and community events, I work with a calm, observant approach that lets people stay present while I preserve the story.
