Pepsi or Coke- one of my past projects

'Pepsi or Coke' series

This series is a product of the photographer’s exposure to the varied cultural milieu of London, possibly the most multicultural city in the world, one of the most evident encounter points of the East and the West. Women in hijabs, and women in excessively revealing clothing are both a common sight in London, as well as in other locations around the world. Both of these images can be seen as an expression of diverse worldviews and are both critically scrutinized in the globalizing arena. This series does not attempt to promote a particular cultural perspective. It invites the viewer to speculate on the beauty of the debate particular to our era. This beauty lies in the wild array of information we encounter, the opportunities this information gives and the choices it allows us to make. This work celebrates choice on different levels whether it is a choice between conservative and radical, modest and flamboyant, high heels or flat shoes or simply between Pepsi and Coke.

Fashion and Style in Photography Moscow biennial 2011



There is so much missing in between of now and the past year that I don't even know where to catch up. Buts lets start with the fact that I've been exhibited at Fashion and Style in Photography Moscow biennial 2011 with series of 28 works united under "Drive" theme.

"Can you feel the ‘Drive’? The stream of life and unlimited energy. Juicy colours and flashes of emotions. These are not models, nor characters from films, but real youth of the now living by their own scripts. Somehow the gloss of magazines and white smiles of Hollywood came into our everyday life and we became characters in our own films. That is the main theme in my photographs.
I capture moments that are overfilled with energy and youth, showing the beats of up to date life."

This event was also highlighted by a sale of some of my favourite pieces. You can preview most of the selection of the exhibit here.

After more than a years break I realise how much goes on unrecorded. Everyday I encounter so many things which MUST be shared with others. So here goes an other attempt at keeping track of my photography, fashion video content, looks and objects of desire.
