fatal issue #1
I have been dreaming of creating a book of my photographs for a long time. When I walked into a bookstore and looked through photo albums, I always enjoyed the stories and atmosphere that were present on the pages of each one.
However, to create a book, I had to accumulate material that was worthy of printing, and I had been working on it for many years. I was gaining experience to make it possible.
My travels helped me choose hotels as a place for creativity and inspiration to create the image of a la femme fatale woman that I wanted to capture in my works. Each city revealed this image in its own way, giving it individual artistic elements. Hotels have become not only a place to create a photograph, but also a place to experience it as a life experience.
When I first decided to shoot naked models, it was something new and exciting for me, as I wanted to convey the beauty of the naked body in such a way that it would evoke a passion close to falling in love. I wanted my photos not to fall into vulgarity or obscenity, but to convey the beauty of the naked body in its essence.
My book became a kind of chronicle of my creative searches. I decided to create and publish it myself to go through all the stages of book creation independently.
This limited edition book comprises 40 pages featuring the photographic results of shooting with six muses. Only 250 copies are available, making it a unique addition to any collection. It's the first volume in a series titled "Fatal Issues." Currently, I'm in the process of working on the next volume.
I am grateful to everyone who helped me create it, including models, hotel staff, friends, and colleagues.
I hope that this book will not only be a beautiful edition, but also a useful resource for other photographers and art lovers.

PHOTOGRAPHY
What is my photography about? Who is - Femme Fatale?
I believe in photography that can change your body chemistry, that can inspire, excite and empower you. Photography is a fantastic tool to discover to admire the beauty and magic around you.
I am a photographer because I want to orchestrate something I myself desire to see – things I don't see in my everyday life. I want people to feel things they haven't felt before. I love to work with imagination and fantasy, projecting my ideas and my aesthetics.
I use photography to express my feelings and my emotions. It's much like a diary, a tool to reveal myself more deeply than with words or other symbols.
When I take photographs, I transcend into the deepest meditation I can. I become a part of the flow of energy and vitality, full with magic vibrations that let me forget about my ego and loose myself. Time and space disappear, there are no frames and no restrictions – only freedom. It's my state of total Zen. It's what I am addicted to.
I don't question reality or real life in my photography. My genre is not documentary. I am not looking for "truth" based on facts. I am capturing "emotional truth".
I can see some of my photographs as film stills that might leave you wondering what is happening or what might happen next.
I worship, admire and empower women in my photography. I am looking to discover, magnify and glorify their beauty and radiance. I am fascinated by their mystery, feminine grace, provoking sexuality and raw energy. As an artist my favorite subject is a woman, a femme fatale – strong, confident and reckless.
Maybe another reason I photograph women is because I am afraid (not frightened of scared) of them in a way. And photography gives me some sense of control over the situation. Those photographs can tell you more about me than the models I shoot.
