Hi thanks to everyone who took part in the opinion poll! Despite the widely known "classic" opinion that beauty will save the world, most of you thought it will be spirituality. Which is hopeful! Please feel free to leave your opinions here as the new poll is ready.
This has been a good week - I had a chance to use my camera quite a bit, two days in a row! :))
There is an Arts Festival opening in Luton, it's called B:Fest. Here's a link to the webpage:

I am taking part in it in a number of ways (more on that later). I shot a hip hop performance on Friday, which acted as a preview to the Festival, will share the results shortly.
Images I have chosen to display today are portraits of my friend Maria. We had a relaxed photosession in the park yesterday. I just love photographing her. Don't you wish you had a model like this to photograph? She is not just a pretty face by the way, oh no! Maria studies interior architecture at the local university and has a bright future ahead of her. We share a couple of things (at least): same name, common language (Russian) and passion for photography. Her pictures are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7312311@N06/
I did a photoshoot with two friends in the Luton Hoo and surrounding area. We had great fun, the place was a sheer inspiration, and so were the models I have to say! It seems like watching "America's next top model" brings results not only to potential catwalk divas, but to all of us - photographers and models alike ;)) (We were joking a lot about it)
Featured here are Anastasia and Sarah. Both being not exactly bad looking ;) they are also fantastic at improvising as well as listening to directions! was a really enjoyable experience. Hope the girls will be happy to see the finished work! I definitely am....
