I used to say - “ Don’t be afraid to show yourself from another side, from the deeper side, from your soul. “
I am not sure, but I think I will be more in the field of the photography, maybe some more serious projects - I wish to put my photos abroad.
My 2 favourite models, my daughter and son are always here! But as to the rest, they are people around, some friends, and some old school mate...
I think I have my own style that is a little bit still like the painting, people often say that my photos are like old painted pictures, that is why I use specific way of post processing in PhotoShop of my works - that is work with several layers, because I very often use several photos in one, as well as I use brushes and different textures, sometimes I don’t know what will be the result, I am in the process, and after several hours of work I got the aim - the final photo. But it also happens, I just make a shot and I see this is final, I don’t need any post processing, except maybe making contrast and BW.
What I advice to others - Just take the camera all the time with you, and make many photos....just make photos of everything you see around, maybe start just from people besides you, make self - portraits, make home studio works, combine various things and shoot them. You don’t need I expensive camera, everybody can start with just simple digital 4 megapixel cameras. The 2 nd advice- look for others, how others do photos, watch photo web sites, read photo magazines, try to find the people with similar thinking. And the main - don’t be afraid, it doesn’t matter what camera you got, the main thing - have your ideas!
My working camera at the moment is Olympus e- 300, and use standard zuiko lenses as well as old Russian and Japan lenses such as helios 44 and vivitar.
