This time I wanted to reflect the important relationship between an artist and his art. The projector light includes calligraphy letters by Pokras Lampas. It's an experiment on refraction of light with a glass teapot from IKEA :) Enjoy the series!

I was inspired by experiments with light, calligraphy, prismatic glass & long exposure. Our goal was to go away from direct / traditional advertising & to reflect the important relationship between technology and 5 ATZEN product lines: BALANCE™, PURIFY™, RENEW™, IN-SHAPE™, PROTECT™. The projector light includes a name of one of the 5 main products & characteristic color for that product in each case. Also, the light defines / highlight the area of cream application on the body. For example, the PROTECT™ product is a sun block line which are orange & used on face, around eyes, neck, and neckline.

The city I've seen traveling through Asia

Skyscrapers appear fixed in time, but they constantly change.

In collaboration with Bulleit, I created a special series of the 10 neon portraits based on experiments with prismatic and reflecting surfaces.

Rethinking our reality through locations, personalities and experiments with color, I always try to play with understanding and tell stories about Moscow, its heroes, practices and discoveries through photography.

This series is the process of putting photos onto aluminium canvases 100 ╳ 150cm.

Triptych “DĪSPĘRSĪØN (øptics)” Experiments always lead you to a whole new which change your view of creativity and photo works. Today I’m truly happy to share the results of those experiments with you which I’m sincerely proud of. There’s more than just photography. In collaboration w/ @LBank_ I also want to draw the viewers’s attention to the difference between of the perception of our image editing approaches obtained using analogue and digital methods. The comparison between two methods (analogue and digital ones) induces dualism based on the view/concept that photographs consist of these methods that co-exist together which result in photo works recycled through prisms.

The collaboration includes making photo series inspired by reflective details the NITE JOGGER has & my experiments with prismatic and reflecting glass.

China has a symbolic relationship with ancient architecture dating back through ages. Taken in a 460-year-old extensive classic Chinese garden Yu Yuan (the gardens suffered damage numerous times during the 19th century before being repaired by Liangshun Han (Rockery Han) appointed by the Shanghai government from 1956 to 1961), this portfolio reflects the ancient architecture of Chinese buildings and shows their differences from modern architecture. Yuyuan retains its old world charm and is frequented daily by million of people a day. While new cafe, shops, restaurants are being built in Yu Garden such as KFC, Starbucks, Pandora, Swatch and others, these photographs offer a last look at a part of the Chinese culture that is disappearing quickly, mainly due to the country’s focus on economic and modernisation.

Experiments always lead you to a whole new which change your view of creativity and photo works. I keep experimenting on textures of photography using various types of prismatic glass. This time, however, I took pictures outdoors. I love how that almost invisible texture of the cheapest thin curtains is mixed with the sky. ⠀ Experiments like this always blew me away because they all go through analog processing/editing technique even before colour correction and post-production. As a result of that, it makes them unique, non-reproducible by someone else, unrepeatable as opposed to digital effects processing. So in a sense, there’s a story behind it. #prismagraphy

A few more shots from charming Hong Kong It's all about tones & colours in the city with the craziest street locations. This time I decided to scout to the city in daylight.

Felipe Pantone is a Spanish Artist whose works are recognisable by "fragmented" geometric compositions with bright RGB colour accents. Pantone created his first public art object — a 24-meter installation “Data Fall” located in the central hall of the Atrium in the Summer of 2018. I took a few photos of Felipe and his sculpture special for the Hypebeast resource.

Dubai is one of the most astonishing engineering projects to date. It accurately describes our view and understanding of the possible urban structure of the future. The city was literally built in the middle of the desert.The architecture, the progressiveness, the shapes of those masterpieces impress our imagination & demonstrate human greatness in nature. ​​​​​​​

Another episode of experimenting with textures & light. I've been wanting to take portraits with different kinds of transparent sheets/film for a long time. Because a game of textures is one of the most interesting things in photography. It's all about manual technique to take photos. Photographs like those ones are usually taken with physical materials which reproduce additional visual properties of objects and surfaces, textures. It's like an interactive experience of a real-world environment. It's as if they are enhanced by photoshop-generated perceptual information, but it's not the case. You literally use different prismatic & reflective materials to get a complex image. Those materials refracting the light are your paint and a brush. You paint before you do post-production.

The talented Calligrapher Pokras Lampas painted a rooftop in the city center of Shanghai. He has written "未来" using Chinese lettering in the middle of the rooftop that translates into English as "The Future". He also put a phrase "Create What You Believe" (in English) around the central word "The Future". Pokras always talks to us about the future, a confluence of cultures, the language and writing as a multi-cultural language through his incredible works. This time I had a chance to re-think a place, language and calligraphy by means of my experiments with the refraction of light in a triangular prism. The use of this technique always triggers the duality of human perception. The refraction of light reproduces additional visual properties of objects, surfaces and textures.

The alternative version of Shanghai about which I will tell you through the night city shots. // Skyscrapers appear fixed in time, but constantly change.​​​​​​​ Colours and contrasts turn it into the future, they will reveal a little story about one of the fastest growing cities in China and in the world to inspire you.
