About me
Please contact me with serious projects only keeping in mind that shooting a bunch of headshots TFP is not a serious project smile
If you want to send me a friend request, please write to me first.

Just so you know, I can be hired for an exclusive portrait sitting. By "exclusive" I mean that the result will be unique and most likely deserving to be on a display in a reputable gallery, or published in a fine art book. This, however, may get expensive.

Most photos on my site www.shanidze.com and here are for sale, unless otherwise noted.

Travel schedule until July 2009:
May 27 - June 28  teaching in Moscow, Novosibirsk and Khabarovsk
July (dates are not firm) - Seattle/Tacoma

here you can find photos from Detroit Exotica Show that I shot on the 8th of November:

BIO
I was born on October 18th 1968 and soon after found out that photography is much more interesting than watching TV, or smoking weed. After 39 years my opinion has not changed a bit.

You may find much more interesting visiting web galleries on my site. Series and new shoots usually appear there first.

I am still conflicted about what is better: sex without love, or love without sex.

Just so there are no surprises, this is me singing (all right, pretending to sing)

Thank you so much for your advice in the forums... I will definitly go look up the authors you mentioned and do some studying...Art/fine nude is something I have always loved but never been "allowed" to do ... Now that I am single - I fully intend on giving it a try- I really appreciate your input! :)
