We’re cool! Really cool! Seriously!
Joking aside, we’re a team of photographer (who goes by the name Vlad) and a makeup artist (Renee) who also happen to be husband and wife. Therefore we are twice as organized as any one of us would have been separately. Plus, we both usually arrive on time, so that’s twice less hassle for anyone afraid someone might be late.
As far as experience is concerned – Renee is leading here with her 12 years of experience in makeup and beauty. She even got herself her own web site, www.makemeuprenee.com (Vlad: I don’t) and you are more than welcome to check it out, thanks to Zealus Web Design for putting it together. Vlad was more of a casual landscape photography guy until recently when he discovered he can get a lot of pretty pictures without traveling God-knows-where, but rather capturing beauty by simply placing women in front of the camera. Should have known earlier, would have saved a lot of money. As far as Vlad’s experience concerned – he has around 4 years of fashion, beauty and glamour photography under his belt, having worked with independent designers, various stylists, both printed and online magazines, retail stores (such as Ann Taylor), modeling agencies as well as several Miss New York, USA contestants.
What we are looking for is to create beautiful creative and inspiring images. We have plenty of our own ideas and we encourage anyone who’s working with us – fashion stylists, hair stylists, models – to bring their own. The more – the merrier. Or at least it just gives us more options to choose from when it comes to putting together a book. In any case – we are willing to go as many extra miles as needed to create something beautiful, creative and breathtaking for us. Or you can contact us for paid job to do the same for you.
Those ladies who quietly wish this particular photographer would make some dirty advances towards you during photo shoot – sorry, not going to happen. Not only I’m not interested, but my wife is there as well, so obviously I am there to make beautiful pictures, not waste time – yours, hers and mine. Therefore, if we ask you to do something like lingerie, swimsuit or artistic nudes – it means we are both interested in making pictures, not some sleazy thing. Just thought it is worth mentioning up front.
With all that said, feel free to get in touch if you want to work with us as a part of a team or as a client. We love new challenges.
Vlad & Renee – creative professionals.
