Polina Osherov Photography

These days of hyperactive online networking with most Internet users belonging to multiple cyberspace communities, it’s nice to have a professional photo of yourself that you can proudly post on your profile so that others have an idea of what you look like. I don’t know about you, but things are so impersonal and digital these days, that I like being able to at least have a small visual clue of who my “friends” are online.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels that way! Here are some shots I took of Scott, a local commercial real estate broker who was waaaaay overdue for some good studio headshots.

Check out this video of the way a French photographer by the name Denis Darzacq creates pictures like the ones below. And all this with an old school film camera!! Blows my mind! (seen at Lens Culture blog)

I’m so behind with the blogging - it’s embarrassing! This lovely young pair got married at the end of May, it is mid-July and I am finally posting some photos.

Thank you to Melissa Glenn for her assistance!

It was a very windy, sunny day, the bride spent a lot of time trying to bring her veil under control. I was so glad that she had her hair up!!

Wanted to share this quick video of an interview with Gregory Crewdson. He’s not your typical photographer, but I love his imagery and it would be a an amazing experience to try and do something similar (though much scaled back!)

I will be shooting Stephanie’s wedding in August, so technically I shouldn’t be posting any of her bridal shots here thereby giving away her outfit, but she’s so darn gorgeous that I can’t help myself. Can someone say Audrey Hepburn??

My fave!

This past Saturday, my model, Amy, my assistant, Gavin, and I, ventured out to Talbot Street Art Fair to shoot some clothes for Tantrum - a hip little boutique on Mass Ave, downtown Indianapolis. It was a last minute shoot, so we went sans MUA or Hair stylist and it ended up being a quick, easy shoot; we knocked out five outfits in about 90 minutes. Easy peasy!

Great model, great clothes, great location, perfect weather! What more can a girl ask for??

I finally got to finish up going through the Stutz Open House photos and here are a few more from that weekend for you to enjoy.

All the models were absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t have done it without help from MUAs Misty Al-Eryani & Stacey Mayo as well as Hair Stylist Brooke Ferrin.

Couldn’t help but do a vintage one of Mandie…

ps. If this blog seems a bit impersonal, it’s only because I’m so short on time. Between managing three business, a household, a husband and two kids, there’s not a single spare minute, except for maybe Twitter. If you are at all interested in the inane details of my daily life, you can follow me on Twitter.

A few weeks back did a quick little shoot with Ayr for Sex Symbol Jeans label.

And when all the serious, sexy stuff is behind us, we like to have a good time!

P.R.ISM is a Hip-Hop and R&B artist who hails from Chicago and will be performing at the ICE Lounge this Saturday. We did an all-purpose shoot with him that combined showcasing dresses by Nikki Blaine, a suit by Catou Couture as well as giving him some nice publicity shots and a couple of creative portraits, that and he got to cosy up with a couple of local models, Lisa and Ayr. No stranger to cameras, Mr. P.R. was a natural in front of the ol’ lens.

Make-up and styling by the one and only Misty Al-Eryani of Fierce Looks. A big thanks to Melissa Glenn and Jeremiah Laughner for assisting on the shoot.

And my favorite from the shoot:

Even though Jason was not exactly a willing a participant, it’s pretty obvious that he’s crazy about Stephanie. We see right through you, tough guy! And Stephanie is just gorgeous! Can’t wait to shoot their wedding in August!

So this goose came after us…okay, not really….I think it was lonely or something.
