Wet skin

One more sneak peek from yesterdays shoot with @underground_nyc

Next month I’ll have so many series to post it, just embrace yourself while we are waiting for the edits 📸🤍

Skin

I’ve always loved skin. It’s so simple but so poetic. Little details on it. Never have I edited a scar or a stretch mark or hair on my or anyone’s body. We are just the way we should be. Happy Sunday everyone

Patiently waiting

Being a photographer myself, I never ask my colleagues when my shots will be done. Here is an unedited file from the shoot so we can compare the colors once it’s edited 🤍📸 have a great weekend!

Todays shoot

Today was a great shoot with a photographer Aaron, I can’t wait to share with you the work we did. Beautiful studio in Brooklyn had an insane daylight hit besides that, we did some shots with a black drop and flash light as well. Stay tuned !

Presets for mobile and desktop

Dear friends, as a 'thank you' for being here for me and supporting my art, I'd love to share my presets for those who wanted it to try. I'll just leave them here in case if you are shooting as well. These are for raw files but if you are using it in on your regular jpegs, I'd just recommend using a new Lightroom option of applying just a tiny amount of the preset, otherwise it would be too much. Enjoy your day! 

Denim

Had to exchange for a smaller size. Do we feel a 90s vibe here?

Happy Sunday

Womanhood.

Women, I've always loved them. Women have always been an inspiration to the world, to me. I am a woman myself yet as an artist I become genderless. I see 'them' as my muse, as my canvas. I often freely talk about sexuality and my own as well. Being openly bisexual I love capturing the magnetism between women. This series were created with my dear friend Sarah, who has one of the strongest energies I've met. You can feel it in her eyes that I love capturing so much.

7am. Full series

Walking around in darkness, seeing nothing but silhouettes. Nothing but 50mm 1.0 could see me better

Often do I wake up and go to a kitchen to make my morning coffee. This new mirror right in front of it catches the silhouettes because of the window in the back. This contrast light is like a theatre play, makes you feel like a shadow, it’s you alter ego, it’s you, it’s whatever you wish to be.

New series coming up

Friends, yesterday was a great shooting day and I finally was able to create series I dreamt of for a long time. Looking beyond forward to edit and share with you

Fleur Du Mal. Full Series

How interesting the human nature is. The desire of bringing flowers to our home, to have a part of nature in our spaces even though we had to cut it and stopped it's growth.

New tier available

Dear friends,

First of all, thank you for being here. I appreciate our community here so much, I always speak freely with you. I would like to introduce for those who was asking or simply interested - a new tier that I ask for a bit more but will offer a deeper look into my work, I dedicate extra hours in order to make that happen, that is why the subscription is a little higher, yet in my return I will try my best to show you everything I can from my side.

Inside of my Caravaggio's inspired portraits

Living in small place with limited day light is not easy when you are a self-portaitist. Before my divorce and need to move I lived in a large one-bedroom apartment filled with day light. There was nothing easier for me than playing with different types of daylight. I was very emotional and rushing when signed a lease to this apartment, I haven't even noticed that even though I have these large windows - there is a wall right in from of them, blocking the light. Soon enough I learnt, that mor...

In her room

Having no tripod or inspiration I was sure I will not shoot any self-portraits while on vacation but this rainy morning I woke up with an urge to create. Creating these series I had a mixed view of cinematic and oil-painting inspiration. Bathroom shots remind me of a movie, I want to know myself - what's her story? Bed series are different yet it's just a few steps from bathroom location. Its a classic painting for me, it's her from the oil canvas that stepped down from the frame and froze in...

Mom and x100v

My moms first experience with x100v. How did she do? 😅

I’ll be honest, I did direct what to do and set all the adjustments for her, however, even though I had to edit distortion and cropping heavily, I still think she’s got an eye

Double Frida

Experimental double exposure. Which one would you choose? Your opinion matters

Once I’m back

Dear friends, while being on vacation I am brain storming lots of creative work that I intend to do once I’m back to New York. How have you been lately?
