Traveling photographer - published, printed and exhibited - available in USA/Russia/Northern Europe.
TF* work - on selective basis, but feel free to contact me and we can discuss it.
Paid work - always (well, almost always) - welcome.
Some random facts about me. I:
- am about 6', but i rarely shoot from above or from shoulder level. Unlike many photographers out there i will not bring ladder/step stools and climb them while shooting. First of all i dont like to fall. Secondly - i am honestly afraid of heights (yes, i know, its ground that hits you, not height, but hey..);
- do have accent, when talk in English. But most of time it wont be russian one. I dont really like russian one. It irritates me;
- do have a bit slow shooting style and most likely will ask you to pose and face in certain directions;
- crazy mix of cultures ;
- can talk absolute nonsense with very serious face;
- will offer you a hand if you are female and need to step down from high ground, or will offer to hold your coat. I been brought up like that i am sorry, but no amount of "no touchy" rules will ever change that;
- actually attended proper art school as a kid, and yet i do have degree in applied mathematics;
- easily embarassed and yet can talk fetishes and do shibari;
What i am expecting/like to see, especially if we talking TFP:
- timely arrival;
- willingness to work together and no diva attitude. I am sorry. If i try it three times in the row and keep seeing that "oh i know better, you silly sod" on your face - i dont care who you are - we will part ways;
- i am BIG fan of people who had dancing experience/ballet training/stage training;
- please oh please sleep night before the shoot. No amount of makeup can cover those tired eyes, i swear;
--
Oh one more thing. If you bring your boyfriend who will try to snoop around and teach me on how to photograph - i shall smack him with lightstand. In general - i am not big fan of whole "i will always bring escort" thing. I dont really mind it, as long as that person is not interfering with shoot, but it urks me.
