Inspiration. Where does it come from? Well, apparently it came from God. He is the only true creator. Often times we only recreate or repeat what he has already done, or placed in our minds. That was generally speaking. However, personally for us, in order to create good images, we need to get inspired to do so. To explain what I mean, lately, after not playing and not wanting to play soccer for more than a year, just by thinking about the World Cup in South Africa, and watching a few of the games, I started craving to go on the field and mess around with the ball.( if you hate soccer – don’t leave a comment:) So, there are certain things that we do that trigger in us this creative mood for taking good photos. For Yana that would be magazines, Anthropologie (not the science:), some of the great photographers’ work, and just holding a camera in her hands moves her to be creative. And as for me, often times I would listen to Mozart’s Requiem right before a photo shoot(what??? a death mass???) – but its an extremely powerful piece of music, great movies, calm, but powerful songs, simple piano melodies, and great acting are the things that move me, and make me want to create. I’m sure there are probably more things that I forgot to mention and things that we haven’t discovered yet.

And below is a wedding of Eugene and Lilya that took place a couple of weeks ago. Very bright and sunny day complemented this couple’s open and pleasant personalities. And we hope that these images will remind them of this day for the rest of their lives.
