I spent the last few weeks working on a brand new photography magazine I co-found: VIRTUOGENIX. It’s scheduled to come out next month (September 2017), first in the UK and mainland Europe, then in the US, Canada, and the rest of the world. If you happen to visit bookstores or newsstands next month, take a…

Hardproofing
Here are some sneak peeks of my upcoming large format beauty editorial . . . (I’m hard-proofing the images at 100% scale . . . Because there are always some teeny tiny details one might miss . . . And it’s easier to spot them on print) I didn’t mean to turn it into a…
[Analog Photography] Ilford HP5+ 400 Single Use Camera
The built-in flash of this camera is much stronger than I expected! So, I shot a few frames against the sun (around mid-day). The results are quite nice (in a gloomy sort of of way). Save Save Save Save

[X-Rayed Film] Lomochrome Purple 35mm film
This Lomochrome Purple film went through x-ray machines at least 8 times before I used it to capture these photos. (I didn’t get the chance to test this film during my travels . . .) The end results aren’t stellar, but they aren’t so bad either. The first few frames don’t look so good (too…

Fine Art Photography: Photographs Within Photograph
Even if it’s only once, I really must give this a try . . . These images are also part digital photography, part analog photography (KONO! Rotwild + Fuji Instax Wide), and part digital photo manipulation. The digital image was shot using Canon 5DS R with 70-200mm lens, lit with Profoto B1 monolight + a…
Extreme Crop of an Upcoming Beauty Editorial
Testing Phase One Pro 10 100% unretouched Marveling at the details It’s so different from Lightroom. It was a bit difficult to navigate at first, but I’m getting the hang of it. More photos soon.

Playing with Light
Just one of my many midnight experiments . . . Throwing light, creating shadows, playing with reflective objects, and trying various camera settings.

Hybrid Photography: 40% digital photography + 40% analog photography + 20% digital photo manipulation I made a number of presets so I can repeat and automate the process. (And, in case you are wondering, the analog part of the photo was shot using KONO! Rotwild) Photographer and Retoucher: MIU VERMILLION Stylist: LEONID GUREVICH Hair Stylist:…

[Photography] Shooting Book Covers
People who scroll though the images I shot for potential book covers are usually left unimpressed . . . by the composition, the blandness, the excessive amount of negative space . . . The thing is, the images don’t look unfinished and bland to me . . . because I could already see where the…
[Fine Art Portrait Photography] Anastasia
I ended up re-editing the photos I shot in a couple of years ago . . . approximately 15 photos or so per look . . . but, this time, with the “less is more” approach: Color-grading + followed by light cleanup, dodging, and burning, + toning. The only lighting I used back then was…
[Analog Photography] Adox Color Imposion
Adox Color Implosion: Grainy, with yellowish tint, and GRAINS! I love how to use it to shoot anything blue . . . in this case: the sky, blue jeans, water in a swimming pool . . . It adds a nice contrast and makes the image pops Save Save
[Art Photography] Accedie
Back to my old tricks . . . I made a bunch of presets back in 2014, and I’m reusing them to create these . . . But, two and a half year of constant practice has refined my technique to a certain degree. Check my old work here and here for comparison. (Model: Yukiro…
