People heard I did it… A maternity session in Alaska. They hear the rumors of it being shot on top of an Alaskan mountain in unpredictable October, on her 9th month… They can’t wait to see… For now, I will only say it happened and the image above is real. The rest of this amazing [...]

On the same day following a session for Daria, I shot another bridal session for Vanessa, a fine wedding photographer. Her wedding isn’t until December so I have to keep her bridal gown profile as low as possible for now.
I met this gorgeous young lady at celebrity photographers Mike Colon / Bob Davis’ workshop in [...]

Past Sunday generously offered me an honor to shoot two photographers, both young and kind, who both turned into brides.
I met Daria on Fotki, where we both were members of a closed group of photographers/digital masters. She’s been a long fan of mine and when she got engaged, knew exactly where to go. It felt [...]

Following a grandiose Gothic Renaissance photo session and a short sleep, we headed to the next artistic session that week-end, unaware of how hyper-intensive it will become. Looking back, I might say it was the most exhausting non-wedding gig I have done so far. By end of the day, I was falling asleep, not quite [...]

Few months ago, Olga and I were in the East Village looking for props for our DragonChik body art photo session. It is then when we walked into an astonishing boutique, Gothic Renaissance, and met two managers, Laramie and Stitch. A word by word, we ended up talking about a joint project, portraying them in [...]

What a power week-end the past one was… Three engagement sessions, one being quite a production — eight people involved, 150-mile trip on three cars, 22 hours with little or no sleep. And all that to cover just 3/4 of the session.
Julia and Gino are among the lucky winners of Zorz Studios’ free engagement [...]

Few months ago when I discussed an artistic nude session for one of the clients, an idea came to me to involve a body art painter who recently moved to the US and came across my way during a preparation for another elaborate session. The idea was enthusiastically accepted and soon Olga and I [...]

My trip overseas right after a 2-day photo tour to California in mid-May caused a delay in posting a sneak preview of this magnificent session. So here it is now. More details and samples will follow.
06/19/09 update: The session was conducted in a similar way with our iconic Heirdom of Atlantis project so I will [...]

The afternoon of May 9th, 2009, the Day of Great Victory, was spent in Manhattan shooting two sessions.
I started with driving to our studio on Broadway where I soon met Alina and Radion whose wedding I shot two months ago. Hmm, that was also a notable holiday, International Women’s Day. The guys must love holidays… [...]

This is a sneak preview of an elaborate retro photo session shot past Saturday. I am so ecstatic to be able to organize and pull it off! The session, based on our own script, develops a dramatic love story in 1930s’ Brooklyn. A great amount of effort, passion, skill, equipment, and investment was put into [...]

As if I didn’t have enough of Hensel… I already have a 4-head monolight studio set with Hensel’s lightboxes and softboxes, sized from medium to huge. This set has been serving me great in studio and on location indoors but here comes my first project requiring same studio quality outdoors. I’ve been eying their [...]

Olga and I did a Married and Sexy boudoir session for a lovely couple, Alena and Aleksandr. Part of the session reflected their love for Japanese culture. Noteworthy, Aleksandr is a master of martial arts and a businessman. His physique is quite contrasty of that of his petite wife Alena, who is a mother of [...]

Few days ago we visited our friends, Anya and Dima, who had a baby girl three months ago. Working in my niche market, I do not specialize in family portraiture nor advertise such service. With all the equipment and experience, however, it was impossible to refuse their kind and excited request for my service. This [...]

Returned this morning, a fuller report is coming. In the meantime, a scene from one of the mini-outing into a desert.

This image from the series “Heirdom of Atlantis” won the first place in Fotki’s Blue Ribbon contest.
Fotki is a digital photo sharing, video sharing and media social network website and web service suite; it is one of the world’s largest social networking sites. Founded in 1998, Fotki helped me introduce myself to the world [...]

Continuing my coverage of Anya Caliendo’s millinery collection, we gathered at a fine St. Regis Hotel in New York, NY. The session went past midnight and involved a beautiful model Irina. Due to the continued confidentiality till December, I can’t show any samples yet, other than of truly yours… (EH: see update below)
With a slight [...]

Eh… I think I let an iMac into my studio… I could never catch the Mac fever and still don’t feel it. This (my fingers are begging to type something short like “PC”) computer was bought for a very specific purpose - an alternative to projecting my work during ordering process. I am yet to [...]

After more than three months of preparation, my first underwater session culminated in a series of marvelous unique images. The image above is just the first edit… There is so much more to come. Curiosity is too high to keep the results for weeks while in processing.
We faced a whole set of unique challenges, absent [...]
