I absolutely love art in every form and it makes my heart full to work and collaborate with talented, passionate artists. Rebecca and I met at social gatherings years ago and she always had an air of elegance and feminine energy about her, when she contacted me to photograph her collection of silks I could barely wait. RLKD Silk designs are chic and modern, simple and elegant – a designer by training, Rebecca d
Every time Jihan comes to Vancouver, we both try to get together for a shoot, this October was no exception. We rented a beautiful loft in the heart of Railtown on a gorgeous sunny day, Jihan was here for a week and we were both thrilled to reunite and create. She brought a number of outfits sourced at the local thrift store and some lingerie so graciously provided by Curvy Intimates. The space had plenty of window l
Miss L.L. seemed dreamy and very stylish from the first moment we met, turned out we had many friends in common but our paths had not crossed before. She is an architect and wanted to do an elegant photo session with a funky feel, sensuality and authenticity. We rented a space with exposed brick and plain walls, I think the absence of furniture draws the attention to the subject. There was natural light, music and a
Genevieve and I have the best time at photoshoots, she is an actress and I think it gives her a unique ability to show many characters and explore moods with ease. As usual, we chose to do a photoshoot at sunrise, by the beach, it seems to be the theme through our creative journey. Anastasia, bless her heart, was up and ready to prep Genevieve at 4am, she is a talented make up artist and a total darling. We did a dew
ave you ever looked for magic in the Spring? Because I have photographic proof of its existence – this series from last year’s charity sessions feels just like dream. We started with a concept that suited the project and slowly the images turned into a sparkling, sunny fairytale. Miss J.’s personality is sweet & light-hearted, she danced with graceful ease in the field of fresh greens and morni
Welcome to the annual EROS Exhibit, where many local photographers show their nude and erotic images. Each year the show is becoming bigger and more participants take their part, thanks to Vancouver PhotoHaus Gallery. My two Muses and dear friends were very kind to represent my work in Eros 2014. The panel of judges selected two of my images and these are my submissions this year. The Goddess of Nature had a very pow
There is something incredibly satisfying when a vision which forms immediately after meeting a new person comes to life in sync and perfection. Meet my latest muse, Dina, a girl with incredible sense of style, timeless elegance and engaging individuality. We both invested a lot of time planning our boudoir project: collecting ideas, wardrobe styling, personal consultations and a ton of day-dreaming… Well, it pa
The Dreamer title came to mind because it is one of many beautiful character traits of my model and a dearest friend. We have known each other for a long time and each time we meet, Miss M. has to converse with my camera as much as me! This summer, I was graciously offered to use a stunning photography studio (the headquarters of Kissed by Light) for a personal shoot. Here are some of our favourit images – anyo
Ms. December had one of the most challenging sessions and she braved it to the very moment when her fingers turned numb from cold. We drove to Lynn Valley Canyon on a cold rainy evening in March; it was raining so hard, our friend had to hold the umbrella over the camera equipment! To say that Ms.J is a natural at modeling would be an understatement – she was absolutely stunning and in the element. A rough and
Meet Katy, the co-captain of the Riders for Ryders team, a true fighter and a gorgeous, incredibly strong woman. Katy has been on the team for several years and continues to take part in other fundraisers to support cancer research. When we first started this project, it was important to personalize each photoshoot and reflect personalities of participants. Katy finds her freedom when she is riding horses, she feels
HOW I GOT INVOLVED. So this is my first official Charity Project. One day I was contacted by a friend asking me to create a charity calendar, I gladly agreed. Money raised from this project would benefit the BC Cancer Foundation. A Ride to Conquer Cancer is an annual two-day bike ride from Vancouver to Seattle to raise funds for cancer research. The team Riders for Ryders was formed by Jimi Brockett in 2009 and toda

Where do I fond my clients? Everywhere. I meet my potential clients on the street, at my favourite coffee shop, in the building I work at and while traveling. Miss J. found me, we planned a secret session for a Valentine’s present for her man. Except, I think all three of us knew the present was actually for her! Sunlit smiles, flirty lingerie and gorgeous curves were such a treat to photograph. Enjoy!! Much lo
Welcome, welcome back gorgeous Miss C., our morning session took place a while back. Since 2011 we have exhibited some images in the Eros Show and she had a beautoful baby girl. It is absolutely priceless to have images of yourself that capture a moment in time. Mind you, Miss C. has not changed a bit since the first session and I am hoping to photograph her again soon! Enjoy!! Eugenia Filippova
