St.Valentines Day

Happy St.Valentines Day! Love yourself, love your partner, love everyone around you! ❤ I finally have some updates. Currently I have some photosets to share, but I’m not sure about their quality, so this is why I prefer staying slow about them. This shooting was all about fun. I would like to appreciate 4SKR for this work - we’ve planned it since October and the result is really adorable! Despite all the problems we’ve had during this project it has a nice outcome. Mystic Messenger means a lot to me, this game helped me to fight with some severe waves of my depression, huge thanks, Cheritz, for creating this wonderful thing.

Also I would like to say thanks to Rita and Dima, and thanks to my great Andrew. Guys, you were awesome and thank you all for your help!

Belle Baileys as Elizabeth 3rd 

Me as photographer

We’ve created a little fanfic for our shooting as a present, I hope, you’ll like it!

«It must be 9 a.m.» – thought Jumin opening the curtains. He was wrong, wasn’t he?

The desperate rays of sun burned his eyes. He has never been so wrong, oh, what a blunder. It was 1 p.m., he had overslept an important meeting, no, it was THE important meeting. He casted a surreptitious glance at his phone, some missed calls from assistant Kang and the time on the screen were not counterfeiting him, the meeting had been successfully omitted and he could do nothing with that.

«But it must have worth it, huh?»

The date was the 15th of February, and it meant, that the last night was the consummate one.

***

He always thought that the 14th of February has never been a good date for him and this one wasn’t the exception. Being at office of the company today was a baffling task, everyone was making a fuss about St. Valentines Day. 

After a long hard day of work he came to his flat without any gleam of will to do something when he suddenly saw Elisabeth 3rd. She was his room sunshine in this everydayness.

«There is nothing bad about being a ‘cat mom’. I have someone to meet me after a hard day» thought Jumin stroking a hand gently over her. 

After a few sips of delicious pop wine and some bites of the savoury T-bone steak, he saw a chocolate heart on his coffee table. 

«Did I buy it? I hope, it’s none of my bodyguards... or is it some kind of a present?» with a subtle movement of his hand he unwrapped the heart and tried it. It was wickedly good. «Is it possible that I’m not on my own here? I should be mistaken, but...» he gave a piercing glance towards his bedroom and tried his best to sneak inside with no sound. 

There was nothing, but an enormous piano, he used to play before, when RFA had been functioning. Nothing has changed, it’s just the same old room full of despair and despondency. «Oh my!» another bottle of wine fixed his gaze for a minute. 

He wasn’t alone, it has got obvious. Jumin removed the bottle from a stool to sit on it. 

He slightly touched the ivories and started to play as he had never stopped.

All of a sudden he left the piano and closed the piano lid. 

«Foolish wasting of time.» 

She was lying on the bed, when he saw her.

***

His pale skin was covered with kiss-marks and lipstick, when he woke up.

The bottle of wine was opened, the piano lid was opened, and, of course, the door of his bedroom was widely opened with Elizabeth sitting and staring at him there. She was still asleep, so he didn’t want to lift the veil and tried to be really quiet while washing himself, carrying the present and a tray with the breakfast to his bed.

 He was bitter, because he knew that this wouldn’t be long.

***

«It must be 9 a.m.» – thought Jumin opening the curtains. He was wrong, wasn’t he? The desperate rays of sun burned his eyes. He has never been so right, oh, what a blunder. «Was that a dream?» thought he putting on his perfect three-piece suit. He checked the RFA messenger, it was still dead, no more messages from his old friends.

«I don't need anyone else. I just need one person to understand me» bethought he, picking up Elizabeth from his piano. Today he has an important meeting, THE important meeting. The date was the 15th of February, and it meant, that the day was going to be such a casual routine, as always.

Okay, me and my best friend Yana made a costest. I really adore DFC, as much as Borderlands, Life is Strange and Bioshock, so as fan I should touch the source in any possible way! When I first saw adult Saga I immediately recalled Yana and I thought of making a costest. But Yana has been far away from me for 2 years (because of the military conflict on the East of Ukraine, I’ve been staying in Donetsk and she, luckily, had moved to Kyiv), so we didn’t have an opportunity to cooperate (it was really hard for me to move from Donetsk). But now, as I live in Kyiv, it’s more easier and we tried our best to make a costest. Yana played only Dreamfall, but I hope, she’s going to play DFC too.  We have some plans with other guys, I want to portrait the life of Saga’s parents and I’m almost done with our plans due to it. I hope, you will like our work and coming in future shooting! ^ - ^

Hello there, little pumpkins! Yes, I’m still alive *starting to sing Mirror’s Edge OP*, but I’m that busy with my usual work and the preparation of MY OWN COSPLAY (finallyyyyyy, yaaaay!), so I just have no time for posting here my works as a photographer. This photo was made at the beginning of February, I seriously liked working with these awesome and cute girls, because in real life they are attentive to their duties and very thoughtful for details. As I think, it’s quite mature and smart for girls, who are about 14-15 year old. I should thank Lydia for the placement, so, thank you, Lydia! :D  Katsumi as Ram Megumin as Rem

Made with blood and fire sweat (and partly breathing), this shooting challenged us in all kinds of possible ways. Maybe, it’s our tradition? I mean, have some challenges? We tried to picture that period of agony, when Chloe was looking for Rachel. I’m so tired, so I’ll just leave it here. We made our best, and I’m really proud of us. I’ll post some extra snapshots later, I guess. Lana as Chloe Price

It was a challenging task for me, but I did it. My Max Caulfield cosplay is ready ❤ I’ve done everything by myself for the first time and it was kinda tricky. Thanks, Vlad, for these amazing photos! I’m wating for Episode 5 so hard, so I couldn’t stand it and desire to cosplay appeared. So, I hope, you’ll like the result of my work. P.S. Listen The One AM Radio – An Old Photo Of Your New Lover while watching, it makes the perfect atmosphere ;”)

Today I finally watched “Mad Max: Fury Road”, I like the idea of strong female characters from there :”> Especially Furiosa, she’s almost perfect ❤ Me and my little sister created this as one of imaginations about Furiousa’s past, when she was a little girl.

Here we got another shooting with me as a model :D All you know Nastya, you’ve seen her before as fem!Prussia, this time she’s a ghoul! This photoset was quite complicated, it was SOOOOO COLD, GOD, I COULD FREEZE TO DEATH. Our assistans were freezing up too, they even tried to get warm by keeping their hands upon candles! So did us xD And we had another problem, with our fake blood. As you know, Donetsk is seized by war, we can do nothing with that. So, the idea of buying a fake blood is too bad - there is no one here and no shops selling it. We did efforts to do it by ourselfes and failed. That’s why we used cherry and cherry juice as blood :D Me and Nastya, both were covered with it and totally wet because of water on the background. After the shooting Nastya caught a cold, I want her to get well soon! (hope, she’ll be alright, she’s also my partner for a Kill La Kill shooting ;_;) I love Rize and Touka, they both are awesome and enourmous strong! Rize was scaring about few districts, that powerful she was! And I obsessed with the idea of making a shooting with Kaneki, I have a plenty of ideas, hope, I’ll do them soon.  Finally, I should say a REALLY HUGE THANK YOU to Vlad, Stas, Dasha and Klod, without them this couldn’t be that gourgeous ;_; Thank you guys for your attention and patience! And for you, my lovely readers, I would like to say:”Enjoy our work and feel free to comment” <3

Wow! You look great!

Thanks <3

Who's the model cosplaying Satsuki-sama? It's really good & hard to believe it was shot in her apartment, wow!

Well, that’s me :”D 

[photosphereghiaccio]

Uh, I'm too tired, but I want you to see this. These are my first cosplay selfportraits, so, don't judge me. They were made not even at studio - I made this in my apartment. It was hard. Satsuki-sama is my waifu so inspiring and I think, she's a really powerful female character. My acting skills are too low for her at least I tried.  Still waiting for the shooting with my friend - we've prepared Ryuko's uniform in the fight mode and same for Satsuki. It's difficult to realize 'cause of war in Donetsk. Our cosplay fandom photographers don't want to get here and we don't want to work with usual photographers. That's why I've started making this - no one knows what's going to happen tomorrow and I want to be prepared for this. If no one comes here, at long last I will be able to provide us the good shooting, even in case I'm the cosplayer, not the photographer :D Btw, if you like ukrainian cosplay, you can visit this new blog - UCFTW :">

Haven't been posting my works for a long time, 'cause I'm still working with commercial shootings, so, there is not so much time for working with cosplay, and it''s really sad :< Here we have wonderful Nonon Jakuzure by amazing Akina Lina. Actually, her name is Polina and I love it :') She studies architecture and she is doing it well, as I can see.  And I want to tell you a few words about my new cool stories while we were making THIS EPIC ONE THING! Eh. I wish it could be cool for me. When we met each other, first that we discovered that the rain was starting and we had no place to hide from it! Then, when we finally have found out a lovely pavilion, we saw a bomz (it's a russian word for homeless, but I like it more, because it's the abbreviation for "of no fixed adobe" - "bez opredelennogo mesta zhitel'stva", usually, in such countries like Russia or Ukraine they are dead drunk, and the word "homeless" is more polite :D), that was sleeping on a bench! We thought, that we shouldn't disturb him, but in a few minutes we saw 5 men, that started to argue with him with rude words. I overheard, they were arguing about something like a... girl's bicycle? It was em... TOO STRANGE EVEN FOR ME!  So, after that, we left the pavilion, but the rain started again, and we had to return to the pavilion, where new faces appeared. There were cute guys and girls, they came from a skate park to hide from the rain, like we did. One of them asked, what anime is cosplaying Lina and what can we recommend as Kill la Kill. We answered, that he can like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Were we right? :S When the rain stoped, we went to the shopping center near the skate park, because we didn't want to make shooting under the rain again. In the shopping center called "The Golden Ring" (reminds me of Tolkien, lol), we collided with a security guard, he wanted us to meet with some strange guys from commercial office of their shopping center. We said, that we were just for minute, but he called them and said, that we can make photos there for free. Inspite of this, we understood, that there was no space for us, my new lens has too big focal distance, so, we started our new journey to my grandfather's cafe. There we stoped and made this great shooting. I'm really glad, I liked working with Lina. Actually, there was not so much space too, so, shots are of the same type, but they are still awesome, aren't they? ;D Oh, and we had one fail! >< When Polina was changing her clothes to her normal one's, she found out, she had forgot to put on her Nonon arm-band. Sorry for that, guys. My brother Stas was helping me, his work was great too. Especially, he was good in working with my new lightning gear, should say thanks to him!  I wanted this shooting to be made in the philharmonic society of Donetsk, it's really epic and great building with beautiful music halls, but shootings are, unfortunately, forbidden there. Hope, you like this.

Nastya as fem!Prussia 2014 Well-well-well... It's not an old photoshoot. We did it in the middle of April, soooo it is still kinda fresh one, isn't it? I hope, you'll enjoy it. My costume is used here. I have many costumes, that I haven't photoshooted yet, but, as I can suppose, I should do it. Wanted to add: it's my friend, her name is Nastya (shorter one from Anastasia, a well-known name for you too, as I hope) and she is 14 years old. I had a birthday on last Friday, the 16th of May, well, I'm a pretty big girl now (oh, God, I wish my parents could think the same, I'm 18, but they are just like "YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO DO EVERYTHING YOU WANT"), and Nastya seems to me so cute and a little bit loli in this cosplay :"D I've been wondering why, maybe it's because of my age?  Whoa, while I was writting the upper text, I understood, that I have too explain you tiny pieces of a concept of this shooting. We used the flag of Germany, because we wanted to show the devotion of Prussia to her brother Germany, and after that her death and rebirth as a part of him.  And, as our little tradition, we've got a really interesting story, you know! Our shooting was taking place in a small fake ship, before there has been a restraunt, but I don't know, why it's not working now. There was an old sweet lady, she is a concierge at that place. We were organizing my parts of the lightning, while my assistent Lyosha was waving with our flag to the whole world around (please, imagine: in our country while this political and ideological fuss you can be killed because of you wearing a ukrainian or russian flag ribbon) and the owner of the ship phoned that sweet lady, so we had to leave thanks, Lyosha. And I have another story - while the shooting Nastya got that fake blood into her eye and she was in a terrible pain because of that. We had to take off her lenses quickly (she doesn't know, how to do this), and we didn't have a lens box, that's why I thought that the best idea at that time was putting them into the bottle filled with water! 8D  Thanks to my assistents as well, they won't see this again, but I just want to tell this. Thank you, Yana, and, thank you, Lyosha :'3

[photosphereghiaccio]

Cosplayer: Hilde Okay, we've done it! It was an amazing shooting, we've been working hard to creat THIS! At first, it was a torture to work with a flash in the dark and we had to do some photos for several times, because it was the idea of making the photoset with candles. At second, some parts of my equipment became uncharged and we were waiting, while my assistents would bring us the batteries.  So, thanks again to my wonderful assistents: Aler, Yana and Arthur :"D  While we were waiting, we saw the strange guys, that called our model a mermaid and after that they took their canoes and started to paddle them! Actually, water in Donetsk is not so clear to even swim in it, according to the researches of our ecologists, we have one of the most polluted environment of all regions in Ukraine.  In spite of a total despair and demoralization of all ukrainians, I'm really happy, that we are still trying to stay strong and firm, we are trying to live in our usual way, we are trying to enjoy our life, even if we can feel the cold breath of a war behind our backs. This gives me hope.
