Veil And Forms

Editing my most recent self-portraits and honestly couldn't resist sharing a few sneak peeks with you. I think my compassion for classic art is very loud in these but wait until you see the rest

Behind the new series

Today I made some magic

Cinema

Completely untouched shots straight from camera. Just sent 300 files to may client to select. Here are a few from the first look. Can't wait to see her selection and make it nothing but even moodier

Maternity Tuesday

Never thought I’d have so much joy working in this genre but making cinematic maternity is real a thing to me now

Unedited Filed. Full series

Here are a few unedited shots from the series never been edited by photographer I shot with, yet I'm planning on editing a few myself in BW.

Unedited Files

Here are a few unedited shots from the series never been edited by photographer I shot with, yet I'm planning on editing a few myself in BW. I am dropping full unedited series for Inside My Self-Portrait Series if anyone is curious to see.

Poison Ivy

Cotton Lines

Sometimes the camera is too far, but the lines are calling 📸

Love is in the color

First part of Erin and Kiko. Second part is skin details and it’s nothing but pure art

Hotel Editorial

Little sneak peek from today’s 7h shoot at the hotel with a team of a model, stylist and mua. 5 looks overall. It was not easy but totally worth it

Steam Fuji

Film Essence Preset Pack for Lightroom and Mobile

Thank you for your support, for appreciating my work. As a thank you I would like to include the newest preset pack of mine. I spent a lot of time trying to make these colors perfect, I hope you like them and they come handy in case if you are a photographer or exploring the photography world

Complete set. Unedited.

Suit as it is, no color grading, no AI removing AC, no blue tint highlights. Straight from camera but in JPEG :)

Suiting suit

Shots from February shoot with Myko. It is something about a woman wearing a suit that has always attracted my attention in both art world and every day life.

What is your favourite book?

Daylight magic

Embracing the daylight and lace as ultimate combination of poetic boudoir and worshiping women's natural curves. Never edited the skin rolls and honestly, feel almost offended as a photographer when others do.

Afternoon daylight

Cloudy Brooklyn

Negatives

Inspired by film negatives, I edited this series with pink and yellow contrasts to focus on shape and light reflections it creates. When editing in the same style for a while - you do get to suffocate in your own colors. This is why lately I've been feeling like going out of my "comfort zone" and step up in my creative edits.

In frame - Eri. What do you think of these colors?

Find your feet

Full set N.2 X Myko

Being a boudoir photographer it is always quite entertaining for me to see how other photographers will pose or capture me. While Im behind the lens, I am very direct and detailed about the pose I want to capture, how the head has to be tilted, how the foot has to be turned. Yes, it takes away the moment in some occasions, but mostly, it gives it class and purpose. Pose becomes like a statue, m...

X Myko. Set 2. Highlights

Few shots from film camera. Its the natural grain for me

Red Velvet

These are completely untouched shots from November shoot from Myko. I decided to edited a few of them myself yet while I am deciding on colors - id like to share the untouched full set as it is. Sometimes, making the right choice is even harder than editing.

We used only daylight for the shoot and the studio was supposed to be filled with it. However, those huge windows were blocked off...

To be downloaded

Finally was able to get my hands on full gallery from November shoot yet internet at the hotel doesn’t let me download it. Gladly, I am flying back to nyc tomorrow and can’t wait to share this set

Coffee with Milk

Do you think it will cause a scene if I'll be editing series on the plane from Turkey to New York this Wednesday?

Jokes aside, I know I say it often - but it might be my new favorite series. Full of sensuality, softness, gestures, shapes - I want to sink in this series helplessly

Love and Lemons

Here she is - Anna, my gorgeous client that booked me all the way from Switzerland, she is a stunner in and out - a fly attendant concurring the sky. We shot 3 different looks in my favorite boho studio. Some of the shots have only color correction but to be quite honest - it's that case when raw files looked almost just as great.

I guess it’s genetics

Threw a mini bodouir shoot on iPhone to my mom the other day. Honestly, nothing like seeing her being so happy over a shot saying ‘that’s really me?’

Embrace your ladies in the family. We are young only once

A woman

The curves, the string, the power
