Bathroom routine
First part of the shower series with Erin O'Hara. Shot on x100v with in-built flash, I tried editing as close as I could to the film colors. What are your thoughts?
Todays magic
A bit of the bts from today’s work. Can’t wait to show these series
Perspectives
Have been beyond busy with clients edits, but I prepared my new fav series made with flash that I will be posting next week. This upcoming Saturday I will have my self-portraits workshop - this week is A LOT but trying to get though!

Women.
I hold her, we hold secrets, she holds memories. With Erin O'Hara
Black and White
Last week I worked as a model at the event where photorgaphers show up and shoot for their portfolio, so this week I am receiving pictures they took that day. Photographers were very different levels, different visions, it is quite interesting to see how the same person (in this case, me) can be por...
Pianist
Self-portait series inspired by one of the most precious thing I have at home - my piano, that my parents brought me all the way from Russia, so I have a sense of home (back in 2012 when I just moved to the US)
Little secret
Wanted to share a before AI editing and after :) could you tell before I told you it was touched up like that?
Tonight the world becomes smaller
It almost became a tradition of me taking self-portraits on my little yet so dear to me x100v. There is something in hotels that makes me see things a bit more cinematic than usual, perhaps, it's a horizontal way of shooting as I do not travel with the tripod and normally use nothing but pillows...
In her room
But the room is not quite mine, and I’m not quite in the room. I am elsewhere, places where only my mind can take it. Working on Dubai series but I believe I’ll be able to edit it once I’m on the plane or home, as it’s quite hard to do while ok vacation with family. I’m flying back in a fe...
Dubai self-portraits moment
Today I had 20 min on my own apart from family, an irresistible light and myself. Can’t wait to share it all
Rainy day
Hi friends, I finally made it to Dubai. I will edit one very special series exclusively for patreon some time this week, once im all settled. I travel every year for my birthday to see parents, who live far away from me, and we can see each other on a neutral territory. Last year turkey, this year D...
Coming back from Cambridge
I've been wanting to shoot at this station for the longest time possible. Only thing was missing - Charlotte, my model that could not fit more perfectly than she did. I spent so much time trying to see which 10 of these to fit into my post, but was wondering, which one would you choose, and whic...
Eucalyptus Lady
I was passing by the flower market this morning when I saw this eucalyptus calling my name. I have been always loving the shadows it creates and the settle grey-green tones it has, like a perfect plant for the painting, yet I painted with FujiWhich one is your favourite?
Fuji and Linen
Experimenting with poses and forms, light and textures in most natural way.Creating with Erin O'Hara is something that always feel organic, smooth and it is literally nothing but capturing a moment of two women spending their afternoon in Brooklyn with a little Fuji and and linen

Brooklyn Daylight
Yesterday I had an hour boudoir session with a client at this gorgeous boho studio. Many of you might have recognized the space (I have a high volume series to edit with Erin O'Hara from this studio that we have shot just recently). Brooklyn warehouse building with big floor to ceiling windows l...
