Galitsin studied classical painting in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), but later turned to photography. His first camera, an early Leica model, was given to him by his grandfather who purchased it from the officer of German army in 1947. In 1997, Galitsyn received the Master Kodak Award. In 1996, he was an famous erotic photographer in Volgograd (Russia). The majority of Galitsin's photos and videos were shot in the Volgograd area, and sometimes in hotels in Moscow as well. Galitsin's apartment (the former home of poet Margarita Agashina and former Volgograd mayor Yuri Chekov) doubled as a high-tech photo and video studio. Sometimes he traveled to Egypt and India. Galitsyn, Irina and their three children live in the Kalachevsky district, where he invested his savings in an “experimental farm”. Here Galitsyn grows pigs and chickens of rare breeds. He is engaged not only in professional photography, but also in documents about his farming activities and family life.
