A Jorney to Christmas

On the 7th of January orthodoxal christians in Russia celebrated Christmas. That day I went to Moscow for a walk. It is worth mentioning that Moscow is decorated with lights. Little stores are opened everywhere trading sweets, souvenirs, presents. Moscovites and tourists can skate on the ice rink opened on Red Square, slide from mountain made of ice on Revolution Square and take part in other entertainments offered in Russian capital city.

Three Charites

Two weeks ago I had a wonderful photosession with three beauties - sisters Julia, Elizaveta and their mother. All three ones are beautiful, graceful and bright. Real Charites.

That warm day became a pleasant addition to my shooting and the golden autumn was a gorgeous decoration for three beauties. 

Warm Summer Evevning

Summer has already reached its middle point but in our region it doesn't please us with constant weather. Heat often changes with cloudy days, rains and windy weather. That is why warm days are especially precious.
Last Saturday was that type of rare summer moments when Sun was shining the whole day, the sky was blue and clear like the sea where the white sails of clouds were going by. And it was hot, hot, hot!..
By the evening heat was changed by soft warmness and freshness of the evening. Taking my camera I went to Chernevo hill (Chernevo is the district of Krasnogorsk where I live). This is a favourite place for walks of all local people. Everything is blooming. Every here and there green grass gives in to bright flashes of French willow flowers. Busy bees were fliyng from flower to flower.There were three kestrels which flew to the hill to huntfield voles.


I am happily share with you everything I saw during my walk

My First Work at Studio

I have always thought that I will never photograph at studio. It's been either causless fears or my set determination that work at studio is not that I really want to do. Nevertheless, I decided to do it just for experience and for understanding what it really is. So last weeken my friend and I rented a studio and make several sessions. And... ta-da-a-am! I liked it! And I want to repeat.

Ice Speedway in Krasnogorsk

Only on past Monsay I started to understand clear where my last shooting was. And still this situation makes me get over it again and again.

For inhabitants of my home town Ice Speedway is some kind of local national sport. I mean that since the very first race in 1995 it gained popularity and love. And it is still loved. Every year the stadium is full of people who want to see one more race.

As many of my townsmen, I have visited Speedway races as a common spectator for a long time. This tile I have decided that races would be a good way to develop my skills as a photographer. So I got an accreditation and went to shoot. My decision served me a good possibility to look at the inner world of speedway and sportive competition with one eye. And though I am not satisfied with my photos at 100% now (but I have made some conclusions for future) but I am glad that this experience took place. That was cool!

 

New Year in Moscow - 2015

As it was last year, Moscow is full of lights. People walks along the streets, celebrate and enjoy street lights and fairs. In 2014 some streets were rebuilt so now people walks over them in those places where cars drove through before.

Weigh Lifting Tournament

Yesterday I visited Weight Lifting Torunament as the photographer. It was the first such event I've ever visited. So I was under impression.
The tournament gathered many people who wished to try themselves. It took place in a very friendly atmosphere and I guess everyone liked it.

Autumn Dogs

Yesterday I had a wonderful shooting with two dogs from the shelter Masyanya and Lola and their curator Tanya. Besides them there was another dog Juicy. She needed some photos to find a future owner.
So, I'd like to say that the day was sunny and bright. Dogs had their time, they were running around and enjoyed. I hope they will find their owners one day.

One More Photosession

Since I finished my studies at Photoacademy I try to use any possibility to take camera in hands and start shooting.
Some days ago I had a photosession with two girls. I represent you some pics from it.

ColorFest 2014

A week ago I was at ColorFest in the center of Moscow. It is an analogue of Holi festival which originally comes from India. The festival gathered many people to enjoy good weather, goos music and throw coloured powders to each other
