Calm, respectful coverage
A photographer should help a moment breathe—not pull attention away from it.
The photographer behind TriStarsMedia
A Knoxville photographer who believes the most meaningful photographs begin with attention—to people, to place, and to what a moment is really saying.

Welcome to TriStarsMedia, where each frame is created to tell a distinct, human story.
Ruslan Selivanov is a Tennessee photographer specializing in portraits, weddings, events, families, and visual storytelling for churches. His aim is simple: preserve the important moments of your life and community in photographs that feel vivid, emotional, and true.
His approach blends quiet observation with helpful direction. During a church service or event, that means anticipating moments without becoming part of them. During a portrait or wedding, it means making people comfortable enough to look and feel like themselves.
Based in Knoxville, Ruslan serves East Tennessee and travels for stories worth telling. Explore the portfolio, then get in touch to share your ideas and vision. Let's create something meaningful together.
