I’m Igor Filatov - a photographer and visual director with over 15 years of experience across fashion, performance, intimacy, and urban culture. I create under the name Sovoque, with a focus on presence, tension, and atmosphere.
Before moving fully into photography, I worked as a lead producer on major luxury and cultural events - including Cartier’s anniversary celebration on Red Square (2008) featuring Monica Bellucci, the official afterparty for Chanel’s Paris–Moscow show, Vogue Fashion Night, and numerous private events for Cartier clients.
I later founded my own creative production agency, delivering full-scale event and display concepts for brands like Chanel (including boutique window installations), Cartier (jewelry shows and client experiences), and Moncler (from retail pop-ups in TSUM and Saint Petersburg to seasonal visual campaigns).
In parallel, my agency produced over 100 public concerts and festivals in collaboration with the Moscow Department of Culture - including the main stage for City Day (2013), summer music programs, and winter city galas.
In 2013, I permanently left Russia and relocated to Europe - both professionally and personally.
Today, my photographic work explores erotic realism, emotional dissonance, and the unspoken layers of physical presence. I shoot on both digital and film (Hasselblad, Polaroid, Rollei), collaborating with individuals, couples, performers, and brands. I’m drawn to bodies, rituals, and states that slip through control.
I’m also the co-creator of La Cortigiana - an art-driven fetish brand combining photography, handcrafted objects, and erotic symbolism.
Currently based in Turin. Working internationally.
