books

"Books let us into their souls 
and lay open to us the secrets of our own..."
                                             William Hazlitt

A good book is a whirlpool that gets us drawn from the first page... it's a whole world that can be full of unsolvable puzzles, magic mysteries and amazing discoveries... but this world can also be populated by ordinary people (just like us), people that live through hard drama, horrors of war, wonderful adventures or sweet moments of the first love...
Books are our timeless teachers, devoted friends, fellow travellers... sometimes they are our best advisors, but sometimes - a source of our uncertainty and worries...
My today's pictures are about Irina and her love for books and the dreamworld they give to us...

 

pretty woman

"Pretty woman, walking down the street, 
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet..."
                                           Roy Orbison

Julia's smile shone brightly almost all the time of our walk. More or less serious shots were the result of a hard work:) 
We had to hide from a male attention for this audience was literally magnetized by the vivacity and playfulness of my model…
Even though Julia has very little in common with the heroine of "Pretty woman" movie, there is no doubt that well-known soundtrack is also about her…

i'm not a girl...

"I'm not a girl, not yet a woman.  
All I need is time, a moment that is mine, 
While I'm in between..."
                                        Britney Spears

It's so great when you look in sparkling eyes of a young beauty, listen to the sweet voice, yet childishly ringing, but already with grown-up notes... to see how movements of one person harmoniously combine an angularity of a teen-age girl with smoothness and flexibility of a woman... our walk with Katya reminded me of that wonderful time  «in between» Britney sang about...

she's like the wind

"She's like the wind through my tree...  
She rides the night next to me..."
                            P.Swayze&S.Widelitz

My heroine for today is Ksenia... she is an impetuous and quick personality, thereby - full of surprises... she's like the wind, like Amazon with sparking eyes... my work with her was a very interesting experience...

story of a date

... he was waiting for her... he was a strange combination of two opposite conditions: both being desperate to see her and at the same moment calmly beating himself at chess and sipping brandy...

she flitted into the hotel room, when he'd almost lost his hope to see her...

throwing herself into his arms, she was saying good-bye to the reality outside the hotel walls...

inhaling the smell of her hair, he knew, he'd never let her go again...

desert stories

"The desert tells a different story every time one ventures on it..."
                                                                            Robert Edison Fulton Jr.

Today I decided to show the result of a "desert" photoshoot with Nastya.
This is a story of a helpless girl, who got lost in a desert...
The whole story is a little bit sad, but it has a good end after all:)

peace in the morning rush...

"Find peace in the morning rush and you will have a good day..."

                                                                                Mike Dolan

For my first post I chose the morning set of Kristina, who was glad to start her day in the comfort of studio's bed... but, you know, she also looked great in other interior parts))
