PHILOSOPHY:

For me the most important things in the frame are the emotions, nuances of mood, personality of people, their sincere relationships: how they look to each other, touch to each other and etc. 

I'd like, that the people I photograph, remained themselves, without having to copy the manner of pop stars.  

However, I often tell how and where better to get up, but you need to understand that a nice photo is always the result of your and my joint efforts. 

I only suggest the shape, composition, you fill it with content and meaning: your emotions, joy and love for each other.
