I left all pictures in the sequence of how It was shot. Three seconds loop timer is my favorite way to go when I shoot in movement, one pose comes out from the previous and it Is a never ending creation process as I truly believe that you can never run out of poses.
I am always heavily oriented on details, thus, for me ...

Behind the scenes
So much of my client work is unseen due to obvious reasons but I’m glad to share at least a bit of this other side of my work! Meanwhile, today is the editing day and I am preparing a big self portraits series drop 📸🤍

Early morning rain is falling
Happy Saturday, friends. Here are a few frames from my last shoot when hired as a model. I am having an urge to shoot in this rainy room myself or with one of my photographers friends to capture this atmosphere in kalabina style. It's interesting how we see the same set up with completely different eyes. I did retouch colors ...

Photography is a blessing. Never shall you be afraid of posing weirdly, awkwardly, not the way it pleases others. I forget about the whole world when I capture a moment and I will be forever grateful for every moment like that. Photography is healing

White Silk. Inside-Self Portraits excuse series
Silk and skin always went well together. Dripping down fabric emphasizes the soft skin, it creates texture that looks like painting, those shadows and highlights look like brush work and this is my favorite type of photography, indeed. Which one is your favorite?

Mini series exclusive to Inside-Self Portrait tier yet cannot not share this frame with you friends. Skin and silk are forever my favorite combination

How much space do you need for self portraits? Is one apartment enough? What if it is a room? What if it is just a chair? Never had a problem with that

She is back
The first morning I woke up in my apartment by myself after dropping off my mom at the airport a night before. It Felt oddly good, felt like a queen in my blanket kingdom and it is all mine yet again. Happy Thursday, friends!

Happy Sunday, my dear friends. Thank you for supporting my work. Sending love to all of you!

Throw back to one of the early mornings when I was tanning as I am at my balcony observing surfers going to catch their first wave. For some reason these shots remind me of 70s, there is a vintage something in it. Can you see it too?
Full series can be found in "Inside Self-Portraits" tier

With the stress I had to go through in the past few days with my camera being stolen, I almost forgot how just a month ago I could enjoy the waves, the sun and my little camera.

These self-portraits were done after a client shoot, when she left I had 30 min left at this gorgeous space and I couldn't resist taking a few shots myself. Despite looking dark it was actually very bright, I used as usual the black light mist but pared with ND filter as well
2023-05-31 11:40:15 +0000 UTC View PostLight and balance. Uncensored
Seeing daylight reflecting from a mirror near the window was irresistible. Skin, jewelry and a daylight is my favorite foundation to any self portrait. Lately I've been adding a bit of a glow to my editing besides using a black diffusion light filter installed on my lens. What frame if your favorite?
