It’s one of the most difficult kind of photography. It includes different styles and directions. Firstly it’s a candid shot, ability to catch the spirit and the inner atmosphere of the event without interfering into the process. Secondly it’s a posed shot, ability to make a beautiful magazine picture that will include both emotions and climate at all times. It really takes a professional to do this. Oftentimes it’s necessary to settle differences that appear very often, to relax the atmosphere on the event. The result of the shooting can’t be positive if the bride and groom are in no humor for. That’s why we usually carry out the photo shoot in a friendly atmosphere and take a portable music and as a result there is no need in asking the couple to smile
Wedding photo shoot ( to 8 hours)
It includes:
– Work of a light electrician assistant who will be at just the right time and place during the whole shooting and will always help us to achieve the best results. In addition he will observe the main rule – don’t hinder anybody and stay invisible.
-300-500 processed photos that passed through the process of screening. It is said that just one no good take can mar the effect of the whole photoset. That’s why such unfortunate photos must remain in the wastebasket.
– Graduation and classifying of the material into appropriate folders. It is necessary to estimate correctly each photo and put it into a proper section to make it easy for a young couple (for a client) to find a sought-for photo in the correct folder. It can be off-screen, funny, candid photos, photos for different Web resources squeezed to a needed size. Frankly speaking number and names of these folders are quite individual and may differ in every single case. But classifying is a very important process in a photo processing.
– Editing of every single photo ( brightness /contrast etc.)
-Framing where it is needed, we also “cut” all unnecessary details that hinder perception of the main event and the main character.
-Balance of white. Every photo must be done in a “right color”. To achieve the best results the whole shooting is carried out in a Raw-format. That’s why the processing of the whole material takes a lot of time and is rather diligent. One of the reasons is a large size of every file ( about 30 Mb).
-We arrive on a shoot on our own transport and we are fully responsible for our equipment and its quantity. A client shouldn’t bother ones head on the event day.
The cost of a transfer is always included in the cost of photo shoot if longitude and latitude of a shooting process stay within Kiev and its suburbs.
Wedding photo shoot ( to 12 hours)
It includes:
– Work of a light electrician assistant who will be at just the right time and place during the whole shooting and will always help us to achieve the best results. In addition he will observe the main rule – don’t hinder anybody and be invisible. On top of that he often takes the second camera on a banquet part of an event and shoot all the key moments.
-700-1000 processed photos that will pass through the process of screening. All unfortunate photos are removed.
– Graduation and classifying of the material into appropriate folders. It is necessary to estimate correctly each photo and put it into a proper section to make it easy for a young couple (for a client) to find a sought-for photo in the correct folder. It can be an off-screen, funny, candid photo, décor details, design of a hall; it also includes 50 photos that represent the key moments of the whole event and which are squeezed to a needed size for different Web resources. Frankly speaking number and names of these folders are quite individual and may differ in every single case. But classifying is a very important process in a photo processing.
– Editing of every single photo ( brightness /contrast etc.)
– Framing where it is needed, we also “cut” all unnecessary details that hinder perception of a main event and the main character.
– Balance of white. Every photo must be done in a “right color”. This applies especially that part of an event when because of a scene or a hall lighting everything results in a huddle of different beams, lanterns and light chaser. Very often it’s possible to solve the situation with an additional lighting, but if we want to run the atmosphere on the event, light dramaturgy and burning of candles there’s no use in the excess of lighting. To achieve the best results the whole shooting is carried out in a Raw-format. That’s why the processing of the whole material takes a lot of time and is rather diligent. One of the reasons is a large size of every file ( about 30 Mb).
-20 photos with a detailed post-processing that are printed in the A4 size.
The best photos from the whole event are deeply processed, retouch and get an artistic look with untraditional set of colors.
– Record and design of a DVD box (whole material is presentably arranged with a cover and a stamp on discs).
– Parallel shooting on a film camera (while walking). Of late I brought a film black-and-white photo in a wedding photoset. Actually it would be more correct to say that I renewed it, because the film photography was displaced for some time from a massive usage. But thanks to a backward tendency and refine tastes of customers, who started appreciate the broadest band of the film photography, this process was returned at the head of the table. So I try to lodge all the touching and impressive moments on a black-and-white film too.
-We arrive on a shoot on our own transport and are fully responsible for our equipment and it’s quantity. A client shouldn’t bother ones head on the event day.
The cost of a transfer is always included in the cost of a photo shoot if longitude and latitude of a shooting process stay within Kiev and its suburbs.
Production of photo books
Photo book has firmly consolidated its position and got the wind of a usual photo album. A photo book presents photo material quite different. It gives infinite possibilities of inner arrangement of photos, various kinds of covers (from simple and available to a hand-made cover with an inimitable design, tooling and exclusive leather) and it’s also respectable and presentable to lodge your photos in such a book. Before making-up a layout we always listen to a clients wishes about design and filling of a book, although we try to hold on to our own style. Arrangement of photos inside the two-page opening is usually made chronologically in accordance with events that are represented on these photos. One opening stands for one episode, so there shouldn’t be absolutely different photos, as it’s a one single unit. All these nuances should be well-known to a professional photo book designer. Sizes of these books can be quite different and the most common is 30х30.
Mounting
Mounting board is a piece of card with a cutout of different form (usually square) that is used as an additional framing element. It performs design and cover functions: it puts emphasis on a picture, gives it an emotional intensity, stresses dominant colors and could be hung on a wall.
We use picture framings of the leading European producer, German company «CRESCENT». For each photo we chose its own color, tincture of the framing that will suit just for this particular photo.
Canvas print, stretched canvas and moulding photography
Very often such canvases depicting newlyweds on it are printed to a wedding event to give a chance to anyone, who feels like it, to leave good wishes, thoughts and greetings to a young couple for years to come.
Canvas is previously stretched and then is arranged in the individually chosen frame.
Printing is possible on the ultra glossy canvas and photo matte canvas.
For a moulding photography we use import materials of the leading German and Italian companies such as «Lazzaris», «VIVAN», «VIVAMA», «Farne Group», «DG CORNICI» (Italy), «Nielsen», «CRESCENT», «Biedermann» (Germany), «Toledana» (Spain). A wide array of choices for design of your favourite photos fit every taste and every purse.
Photosets
Private photoset
Despite the huge number of photo equipment, that is extremely growing with each year, sooner or later every person starts thinking about professional personal photoset. But you can lose through a huge number of different “professionals” who think that they are really good in photography just because they have digital camera. But a true professional is competent in every question you’re interesting in, he can advise what you should do in front of a camera. It’s rather important to tune a client in, to speak on various topics and to help him to relax and to distract from the process of shooting in order to represent his inner world. And technical tasks should be solved properly by a professional.
If you want a shoot to be held at your house or flat we’ll easily take all our equipment out, as well as studio lighting, to be sure in a good result of the shooting. And of course we have a portable variant of a studio lighting that can be used outside.
Stylist’s, hairdresser’s and make-up designer’s service are also possible. Our professionals will help you to create exceptional and unique image and to enjoy the process very much.
Studio photoset
The same remains pertinent for a studio photoset too, but the light-and-dark opportunities are much more here. It gives us a possibility to do the most creative, untraditional and prompt actions via changing the light schemes on a stage .
Besides our studio is opened at any time and in all weather and is located in the centre of the city, on Petchersk. Come to see us, we would so love to see you at our studio 😉
Family photoset
For historical reasons I’ve been shooting for years a lot of couples that have already become true families with children, relatives, brothers and sisters. The most important moments of their lives they do want to capture on the photo. That’s why the family shoot is part and parcel of my work. It’s nice to see a good continuance of a wedding, to watch the children growing up and to see how thankful grandparents are when they have regular photos of their grandkids.
Junior photoset
I think that children are the world’s greatest wonder. I have 2 little sons and I perfectly well understand all those fathers and mothers who would love to see their children happy, healthy, easy-going and cheerful. It’s easy and rather difficult at the same time to shoot kids. It’s easy because children are natural and sincere, they don’t put on an everyday mask as grownups usually do, there’s no need in explaining to them how they should act in front of a camera. And it’s difficult because you have to become like a child too, to jump, to run, to swing, to dig on a sandpit, to play snowballs etc. It would be great if there were not 2 cameras and an additional equipment that you have to move quickly. All this requires physical training and ability to boys and their toys 
It’s also possible to do a junior photoset at our studio.
Corporate party shooting
Broad experience in this sphere of service, ability to join the ranks of any group or company, not to miss all crucial points, whether that be a commencement or unusual behavior of coworkers in the hottest part of the party:)
Photos for advertising
We are always glad to cooperate and ready to make concessions to our client. We have a photo studio which makes it possible to solve the most of the advertising problems including a thematic photo set. Samples of our work you can see in a corresponding gallery section.
Gift Certificate
Many people got so tired from choosing a regular present for their friends, relatives and hostages to fortune that very often they are at a dead-set and so occurs from one year to the next. A gift Certificate is an interesting and unusual present that will be indelibly lodged in the memory of a receiver. Thanks to a gift certificate a person whom you give this “small present” to will have pleasant recollections for the whole life.
