Dear friends and followers,
As the new year is approaching, I want to send my love to all of you.
Last year I had a joy and a privilege of photographing wonderful people and families and create special memories and personal photo art for them. Sharing my knowledge via personal photography workshops and mentoring is also something I enjoyed at lot. I love meeting new people, learning from them and making new friends. And I am very happy to see my clients coming back regularly. I sincerely subscribe to the fact that my clients are simply the best – most pleasant, warm, fun and stylish people!
I had an honor of winning the silver price at the MIFA (Moscow Photo Awards, Fine Art category), getting an honorable mention at the IPA (International Photo Awards), and three nominations at the Black and White Spider Awards. MIFA’s winners work is exhibited throughout the year at various locations, alone and together with IPA winners works. My other works traveled to the Berlin Photo Biennale and the Parallax Art Fair in London. In Berlin and London I met some great artists, made new friends and got a lot of inspiration.
I am thrilled with a recent online “Portals” feature at the Dodho magazine. It is also great seeing my work in the Berlin Foto Biennale catalogue by Kehrer Verlag publishers. The images from the Hariban awards 2015 were published this year in a very special catalogue: a limited edition of 80 hand-printed on Japanese Gampi & Mitsumata rice paper with traditional Japanese bookbinding. Such a book is a small artwork in itself. Finally, it was fun to see four or my photos on the book covers: a mystery novel and a love one, a thriller and a poetry bundle.
I am full of new ideas and look forward to the new year and new challenges! Thank you so much for your support and inspiration!
Wishing you and your family a healthy, joyful and prosperous year 2017!
Olga
