Spent another couple of hours editing one photo and thought that i need to show you guys the difference between the photos...

Great sample of "before and after"...

Am i a photoshop artist after all?

and another one:

Had a few photoshoots in the past weeks (the weeks i didn't write anything)...

For those who are not familiar with photography....it is usually one day of shooting and at least one week of editing.......yeah, this is how it works! Crazy ! And the craziest part is when those models call me and ask for the photos just a few days later....How can i tell them that it takes some time to photoshop their noses...arms...legs....smiles....teeth....coz they all wanna look absolutely perfect!

Anyway....this is my job to make them look great....and that's why they love me  

Here is a great sample.......Gabriella is not really a model but after a little makeover she looks pretty damn good ....of course it has something to do with the make up and styling (it is my work as well) but also a new generation of the photo plastic surgery which is also known as photoshop  ha ha...

Photo "before"

And  "after"

here are a few final photos....

Now back to business....anybody wants to shoot in Shanghai ?

Just got back to Shanghai from a trip to Thailand with my "ArtLover"....feeling good and looking tanned now

A week on a tropical (Koh Lanta) island with only a few guests in a hotel....what can be better  ! I still have the sounds of the sea in my head...those killing waves....a paradise's smell..... ...damn, it feels so improperly in Shanghai now...what's wrong with the pollution !?! Why some people live in a paradise for the entire life !?!

Back to good things,

Koh Lanta situated in the beautiful Andaman Sea along the country’s west coast, in contrast to the majority of Thailand, Koh Lanta is dominated by Muslim Thais, who have their own customs and are quite conservative. It makes for an interesting change of scenery from the rest of the country when you hear the call to prayer echoing is the background.

There isn’t much to do on Koh Lanta in terms of entertainment especially during the summer (which is a low season there), but the island excels in natural beauty and in fact there’s a lots to do on Koh Lanta if your goal is to get away from it all.

I took a few photos of that awesome place:

Not sure what was the name of this beach but it should be named as "the long island beach"...just look at that

There wasn't anything i haven't seen before but those colourful sunsets !!! ...oh my....it was absolutely incredible...

And finally that cute little guy...he was annoying for the entire week...you won't believe but he (or maybe she) was sitting next to me all the time...was he trained to do that?   or is it simply a hospitality of the world of nature?!!

Anyway, that little birdie is really cute...

I can't believe it....!!!  My friend found 2 videos of the Russian national team performing at the World Championship of Rhythmic gymnastics in New Orleans in 2002!

It's been 6 years! 6 very long years since i watched that video last time...oh my!!!

I still remember almost every single move from those compositions...

I know it's hard to recognize me there but well...at least you guys can see what i was doing for 14 years...

Check out the video.....it's just above my pictures

I've finally found some time to edit the pictures from my last trip to hk. What an amazing location ... didn't even feel like i am in hk ...thanks to Lewis, who somehow found that place!
