Gorgeous model, beautiful light. Even the most difficult part of the portrait is excellent: the hands.
Your pictures are always very pleasing.

Lovely images, how come Russian girls got sexy after Perestroika. ;-)

When I see some self called Advance Amateur that shoot at a higher level than a pro's work, I am proud of being a beginner.

How do you like the Sony 85/2.8?

I always enjoyed your posts in the Olympus forum, and wondered how the lenses compare.

Sony 85/2.8 mechanically is like a crap cheap plastic everywhere, BUT optically is superb so its price/value ratio is outstanding.

The same optical quality has my Zuiko 50/2.0 Macro, but it is made of metal and costs twice as much as 85/2.8

Great. I don't mind the cheap plastic stuff too much. It's the glass that matters.

you did a excellent job that i am unable to tell the difference if you've used either crap 85mm/2.8 or high end carl zeiss 85mm/1.4 but your talent has shown the quality in pro level to control lighting and posing.

thank for sharing and please keep posting your work.

I'm kinda partial to video, but I'm hangin!

Gees, I didn't know model photography could be that beautiful. Everything about these photos are a level above the rest. Amazing. Bill

 

[lim yau tong]

as usual. The lighting is marvellous and the model is beautiful! All these are professional works.

 

[Corkcampbell]

plastic feel! It is wonderfully light and small. And, for the price...well...try to do better.

The lens is new for me so I cannot really give an opinion yet on its sharpness, Etc., but, so far, it seems great, and I am finicky about my few primes.

I've shared the normal disdain of plastic in lenses and bodies, but something has taken over me recently and I find myself really enjoying the lightness and size of my new A33. I don't even mind being seen in public with it! My tank-like A700 with impressing, but massive, grip now sits on a shelf and will probably be eBayed. Before that I used a 7D, which was also a tank. I sneered at the gripless, plastic A200s and all of the rest.

I bought the A33 for the size and video, but never thought that I would appreciate the lightness of the plastic body. I hope that the A77 continues the trend, although I assume it will be of metal. Now, if I can just upgrade to the A77 but resist the grip purchase...

Nice and good photo's. No 3 is my favourite. With such a coat there must be
Russian snow at the background.

Nice shots... but I still preferred your original works with your former equipment.
