Photography by Oleksiy Maksymenko

The biggest part of Oleksiy's portfolio are his photographs of Anastasiya. I was a little bit mystified from the start. Who is this pretty woman?
The answer is very simple. The marriage between the photographer and the subject is an old story. In Oleksiy's case "marriage" has a direct meaning. His model Nastya is his wife.

Working together they don't spend a lot of time planning a photo session. They just dive into these scenes, do it, and find their way.

Photographer Alina Glasova and her professional philosophy


Womans Hands
...Alina doesn't just record the external world, but brings her own interpretation of the world to her media...
We met Alina in a small coffee shop in St.Petersburg, Russia. We were going through her photo albums and listening to...

A very tiny girl with a very large spirit of the Artist. Alina was so enthused about her art, that she kept forgetting to breath when she was talking about photography.

Alina fell in love with photography in the last millennium, when color photography was still a wonder, and the process of printing black & white photos in the bathroom was nearly as complicated as flying a space ship.

Since then she hasn't stopped experimenting, she interpretates the rules of composition and color in her own way, and always surprises us with direction of movement, creative framing, broken diagonals, macro themes, etc.

Easter eggs!


Colors of Easter: White symbolizes purity, holiness, and virtue. Gold symbolizes majesty, joy, and celebration. Yellow symbolizes light which in turn is a symbol of the presence of God. Fuzzy bunnies, Easter egg hunts, candy and chocolate eggs, new dresses and suits for the kids, and Easter Sunday at church. This holiday coming in early Spring, has always been spiritual and the forerunner to Summer. Kids get Easter Break from school, to rest up for the scholastic run to Summer vacation, and they use it well. Enjoy these images of Spring!!!

Flower images in web site layouts and design



No matter what images you have chosen for your production or your web page design, if they have been selected based on your color sense and experience, you can't go wrong.

When I was odering the book "The Color Star" by Johannes Itten at Amazon.com, I came across a very interesting review: "If you came to me for a job in graphic design and you told me you hadn't studied Itten, I wouldn't hire you."

A point in case: The Johannes Itten wheel is the RYB (The primary colors are red, yellow and blue) wheel, not the RGB wheel (The primary colors are red, green and blue) that we have to deal every time we turn on our computer.
