Crimea 2007. September

In September of 2007, I returned to Alushta, Crimea to shoot models whom I met in summer - Tati and Olja and try my luck at searching for new ones. The weather was not so warm like in June but pretty good for shooting.

I found a quiet place near Alushta and first brought there Olja then Tati.When I arrived for the shoot with Olja, the rain had started and we hid from it under a roof. Anyway I made some shots with her under the rain. Fortunately the rain passed quickly and we made the rest of the shoot. At that time there were a lot of people despite the bad weather so we had to make our shoot with people watching us. Olja was a little shy about it, but she behaved like a true professional and posed very well.

When I was shooting Tati, the sun was shining but the wind was very strong and cold. People were disturbing us from time to time, and Tati was very natural in her emotions when she saw people watching, during her posing.

I met another girl during my autumn trip to Crimea - Krissy. My friend, a fellow photographer, introduced her to me. Despite her age (she is only 20), Krissy already has a child. She posed enthusiastically in spite of the rather cold weather.

I did not succeed in finding any new models because the typical vacation season was over, and I hardly ever saw any pretty girls on the streets of Alushta.

I was glad to leave Alushta that time, but I will go back there, many more times, in the future.
