Retro salon

Recently Irena asked me to take some retro-style pictures. I wasn't trying to stylize them as old ones, we just wanted to get pretty pics for Irena who was well-prepared and even rented some costume details.

Beautiful Lena again :)

Lena

This was real pleasure working with Lena.
Perfect non-professional model :)

I'm back :)

I´ve been silent for a while.. Had no inspiration, had been writing my Diploma, had my arm broken, but now I'm back.
Finally I had a chance to go to studio. Lena was so nice and agreed to pose, we had a great time. Some more portraits will be published later, but now some fun in the end of filming process here :)

Estonian trip 2012

Last year me and my friend Ilona (who is my Estonian friend, but now lives in UK) decided not to meet in Tallinn or Riga as usually, but to plan Estonian Trip. This year we repeated a trip, seems this turns to be a tradition next year :)
This time we visited Lake Peipsi (yes, above and below this is not sea :). The lake is the fifth largest in Europe and really beautiful.      

Next morning after grilling in the rain, bathing in the lake after sauna the weather improved and was so sunny and friendly.  

Morefrom Estonian trip later :)

Inspired by Bill Brandt

While working in studio with Katherina I was trying to repeat one light scheme seen on one Bill Brandt photo. I wasn't trying to copy that work, it was just an inspiration.
High contrast, simplified forms.

@studio

Some more studio portraits.

 

Studio

Some time ago I had no idea, that taking photos in studio is such inspiring process.
Now I can't wait to go to studio again. The only thing I need is a model. :)
So, If you want to pose, we can discuss it if you send me your photo (if we haven't met before) and pay for studio only, my work for free.
