Dear friends,I have got many e-mails from you with question-How I create my art work… Ok, It is hard to describe all manipulation processes I use in short words, but I will try:I always work with one program- Photoshop CS and use my Wacom tablet. Using my imagination and these tools I discover how to bring a new life into my photo art. First of all I photograph a model on a clean background; this step gives me a better ability in future graphic manipulation. Then separately I create a background with other pictures or draw using brushes from Photoshop. Then I change opacity to blend background and model together. I absolutely love to draw hair and new clothing on models in my work. For hair I use brushes from Photoshop, and for clothing I use details of fabrics from other pictures. For all my collages I use multiple layers with different pictures which I merge then with main image. Next step – there is some shape correction I use Liquify filter involved. And last step – color, tone, light and shadow correction processes which helps me to bring image in one solid story. The final step - I am merging all layers and new art work is ready. Some time this process take about 5 hours, sometimes more then one day….If you have any question about this manipulation process, just leave a comment and I will try to explain!

The example below….

Yesterday was one of those tricky early spring days when you look outside and think it is spring already, because the sun is shining so bright, and yet when you get out without the hat and gloves – the weather says: “Got you!” – it is really very cold!  

Nonetheless, it was a perfect day of the week to visit Buffalo Launch Club. If anybody is looking for a room with a view for their wedding reception – it is definitely one of the options to consider! We entered the club restaurant and the whole banquet room was sun lit, table cloths reflected the light making the room even brighter. The restaurant was awaiting its Easter Sunday Brunch guests already, a raw of chafer dishes that will be filled with eggs, bacon, and other yummies of what makes a brunch were facing the entrance. Jim Henzler, club general manager introduced us to this fine establishment. Can’t wait to take  pictures of this fine establishment as soon as the outside beauty levels with the inside magnificence!  We did not make photos of this meeting, but here is some pictures captured by Elena at one of the corporate event (by small camera:-))

Happy Easter!!!!

I can not stop to upload photos from this session-I like many of them

Yesterday we met with Ben Fantaske from Key Video Productions. Ben invited us to thair office. The Grand Tour impressed us immensly: the office is large, yet created a feeling of a cosy home. Especcially impressive is a real size movie theatre with pop-corn and comfortable chairs, where the brides & grooms get to see video samples and their final video. It was very interesting to see other rooms with numerous computers, recorders and special equimpment. By the way - if there are any photos that you would like to digitalize (transfer to a CD or DVD), any old VCR tapes with those dear to you moments tranfered to DVDs - Key Video Productions can help!

At the entrace to the office a PERSONALIZED greeting waited us! That was very pleasant and unexpected surpize.

Again, similar to our Tuesday meeting, we’ve learned that Key Video Productions have 20 years of experience in Buffalo! Just by talking to Ben for about 1 hour we have already discovered some unique ideas for future weddings that we have not seen done yet.

Another interesting fact about Ben - he is the host of a CW 10:30 pm Sunday night special bridal show - Wedding Planning Weekly. Here is the picture of us playing news crew - doesn’t it look like we could make a nice group of anchors?  

Thank you very much Ben for meeting us and introducing us to Key Video Productions.

We also would like to say Thank You to Michael Fantaske, who also found a moment in his busy schedule to meet us.

It is always pleasure to meet face to face with person who can merge together most of  top weddings and honeymoon professionals.

Michael spoke to us about Buffalo Bridal Association - one of the very helpful resources to use to plan a wedding in Buffalo area.

Thank you very much, Michael!
