Stacey & Derek Wedding

Here are some of the images from a wonderful wedding I had the privilege of shooting last weekend. Enjoy!

The credit for the idea for this image I must give to Kevin Swan, where I first saw this type of photograph/

Kanon June Issue

I know I have promised to keep up with the photo lessons on this blog, but plans have changed once again. From now on, I will post several pictures of the articles that I write in Kanon, and also I will attach a PDF copy of the English version of the article.

The main idea of June’s article is LIGHT–the most important factor in photography. To learn my tricks on how to use light to your advantage, please pick up a copy of Kanon to read in Russian, or download the English PDF by clicking here–>article-english-june.

this is not normal

My friend Alex (who is also a photographer; check out his website by clicking here) and I went out to take pictures today. You see, since we usually photograph others, we don’t have any pictures of ourselves. If you noticed, I don’t even have a decent picture on my “about me” page. Anyways, the plan was to get some nice artistic shots…..well, let me just say, we got a little carried away. Your comments are welcome; and no, we are not crazy…..well, maybe just a little.

Victoria & Edward Wedding

I hope you enjoy the second gallery from my loooong trip couple weeks ago. The images turned out amazing

Albina & Paul Wedding

Here are some of the images from a wedding I shot in Vancouver a week and a half ago. Some of these images were taken by Anton Krikov of Grace Studios, who was working with me for the day.

featured on slashmaraud’s blog

I have been recently featured on the slashmaraud blog.  You can check it out by clicking here.  Mitch (the writer of the blog) has contacted me seeking my opinion on the topic of film vs digital formats.  Besides some of the comments posted on his blog, you can also read my article posted in the local magazine here.

a love story (kind of)

It’s 4am. I should be sleeping, but instead I was editing pictures…of a “wedding”. Here they are! Enjoy!
