Hi dear mayhemites, thank you for viewing my profile!
I am a Russian born Sydney NSW based female photographer & retoucher - experienced, very friendly & easy-going, reliable, 100% professional (professionals are people who love you when you pay them :) ), open to new contacts & ideas. I won several awards for my portraiture. Photoshop power user since 2000. Have worked as a retoucher for a range of studios. Available for freelance photographic assignments Australia wide and for retouching assignments world wide.
I am here for inspiration, friendships and professional networking.
I run a private portrait studio (comfortable, spacious, fully equipped, with kitchen facilities & change area, my clients love it) in NW Sydney.
Friend requests are welcome. Comments are greatly appreciated and always returned.
Please note I am not really into exchanging tags so if you wish to contact me for any reason please send a message.
Models: at the moment I am not up to TF* projects (at least till the end of Janaury 2010). I still offer portfolio updates (from $ 120.00), along with paid testing. Get in touch if you are after some quality fresh images for your book.
I also offer affordable WEDDING PACKAGES FOR MODELS - don't miss out, regular customers pay 3 times more. :) Contact me for details.
Personal photographic interests:
crazy hairs styles; retro & luxury cars; crazy & creative makeup; crazy shoes & stockings; designer accessories (love sunglasses by Roberto Cavalli!); creative beauty shots; fine art nudes; humans & horses; humans and dogs; urban scapes; seascapes; sunset silhouettes; dancers and performers; backstage; runway & catwalks; night life; folklore & mythology themes; much more, you name it. It is easier to name a few things that I don't like than to name all the things I do like to shoot! ;-) And how can I stay away from abandoned buildings and graveyards? :)
Sincerely yours,
Elena
