My first stop was the hotel "Rossija". I had reserved a semi-lux number. I found the price of it too high for such a room. It is about $200 and you can see the interior for yourself.

The first model I shot there was Fiona. She is a friend of Cleo who introduced her to me. Fiona has dark long curly hair, pale skin and very soft, pleasant forms. She loves posing and she loves her body. We got along at once. But Fiona is a little flighty girl. She forgot her documents and she had to go back for them.

Then, after a quick lunch I met Cleo. She is a true actor: very expressive and inventive. She didn't wait for me to say how to pose - she took poses herself. And she did that very well. During the posing she suddenly said: "Do you want me to show you zjaka?" I asked her what "zjaka" meant. She replied that it is a type of pose. I smiled, said OK, and she showed me the "zjaka" pose ;) Turns out Cleo had just given a funny name to one of her poses. I am almost in love with Cleo - her long soft blond hair, round womanly forms, and her energy. I suggested to her to come to the shooting once more and she agreed with a pleasure.

The next day, I invited Liza for the shooting. Liza has striptease dancer experience and she is a go-go dancer at the moment, she dances as a couple with her friend. Liza appeared a little bit tired but during the shoot she was getting hotter and hotter. It was obvious that she likes showing her body and teasing. I did not hold her impulse and let her show all her passion and sensuality.

Then I had a day of rest and visited a fashion week that took place in Saint-Petersburg "Defile on Neva" by my friend's invitation. Here are some pictures from the last show.

After a short rest I left for another hotel "Vyborgskaya". The room was much better than in "Rossija" and for the same price. The first day in "Viborgskaya", I shot Lena and Barbie who was sent to me by her agent (I should note that I never worked with agents before) .

Lena has gained more modeling experience during the last years since we met and her posing skills improved. All I had to do was just to let her emotions free.

Despite being presented to me by an agent, Barbie had a very short experience in nude posing. She posed for only one photographer before and she was constantly surprising of deference between his and my style of work. Barbie brought a lot of clothes for the shoot and had a big problem what to choose. After the choice was done, I started shooting and discovered that Barbie is very cute. She is so spontaneous and shy that I immediately decided that she could be a perfect model for a kid's doll... Like a cute Barbie doll. You will get a chance to judge for yourself.

After a long shooting day I went to bed exhausted but satisfied.

The last day of my SPb trip, I shot Nata and gorgeous Cleo.

You must have read the story of my acquaintance with Nata and already know what kind of model she is. If not, I should repeat that she is almost perfect. But unfortunately she lost her spirit of posing a little during the last two years of her modeling career. But despite of this she posed very good as always and I was glad to meet her since she almost became my friend.

Then Cleo appeared. She had a cap and breeches on so I compared her to a jockey. Her posing was expressive and inventive like before and I had a truly pleasant time shooting Cleo, in spite of my fatigue that came from four days of continuous shooting.

The next day, I said goodbye to SPb and left for home with every intention to go back again soon.

So my journey started not too good: I got ill on the train and the agent who I was going to rent an apartment from tried to cheat me, so I needed to find some medicine to get well and an apartment to live and shoot in. Fortunately I found a good 3 room apartment in the most center of Kiev - Kreschatik street.

I contacted all my models and made arrangements for shoots.

The first one was Lolli. She is an extremely pretty young girl slim girl with doll-like, natural blond hair. As soon as I met her I was charmed. She posed perfectly and I decided to shoot her one more time before I left.

The second girl was Zoe, Lolli's friend. She was the opposite to Lolli but she had charm no less than Lolli had. Zoe has a round forms, dark hair and very naughty eyes. Her posing was very good too. But my stay in Kiev was limited so I decided to shoot her the next time I came to Kiev.

Then Milla appeared. Milla has milk-white skin that is in big contrast to her black hair. After almost perfect Lolli and Zoe, Milla looked a little less interesting.

The last model I shot in that apartment on Kreschatik was Lina. In spite of her previous experience Lina looked more shy than the girls I shot before her.

After shooting Lina and some unsuccessful negotiations with other models, I left the apartment on Kreschatik for a hotel room where I was going to stay until my departure.

The model I shot in the hotel room was Lesia. She is an experienced model and very passionate person. In spite of my bad mood I felt the devilish fire in her eyes that excited me.

On the next day I decided to rent another apartment, to change the backgrounds of my shoots.

The apartment I rented was huge but rather poorly furnished so I should apply all my imagination to make interesting series with three models.

The first one was Lolli. She posed perfectly again, so all I needed was just to push the button of my camera.

Then Natasha came. Natasha is a very experienced erotic model so I had a real pleasure to shoot her. She is shy and hot at the same time. She is also very creative. So some of her poses were really interesting.

The last day of my trip I shot Nelly. She has a graceful slim body and a very open look. She is also very cute and funny so I could not resist smiling all the time during the shoot.

So my plan came true: I shot seven of my planned fourteen models - half - and I left for home in a very good mood with every intention to get back to Kiev again.

I will be publishing the various series and videos from my Kiev adventure in the near future, so get in and stay connected to see them all!

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.

I spent a lot of time walking up and down the streets of Sevastopol but did not succeed in finding any models there. Fortunately I made arrangements for a shoot with a pretty girl whom I met during my stay in Simferopol. Actually, I met her friend who gave me Riana's contact information.

I met Riana in a bus station and fell in love with her immediately. She was dressed in short top and worn jeans, her hair was disheveled, her eyes sparkled, and her lips were shiny with lipstick. I took her to a place I had discovered few days before. It was an end of common beach near Sevastopol. When I was there I did not meet any people but when I came there with Riana some people were sunbathing and swimming. They were really interested in the shoot but were afraid to come too close. Riana did not pay them any attention and posed like we were completely alone.

After some posing under the midday sun, we got tired and went to the shadow of nearby trees. There, we finished our shoot. Riana was in a hurry to get to her friend's birthday party, so she set out very quickly and left me alone with an embarrassed feeling.

I should say that I was going to shoot Riana the next time I visited Crimea but her phone was off and I never saw her again.

To be honest, I felt tired after my travel to the Ukraine and was really glad to get back home. But I also had a strong intention to get back there again and to shoot more beautiful girls and Crimea's amazing landscapes

My plan was to stay in Yalta for 2 days with only one aim - photographing Olja. So I contacted her as soon as I arrived in Yalta and we made arrangements for our shoot. Olja was at her work when I came to visit her. She was very surprised seeing me there. Olja has round shaped body and very well shaped breasts. She asked me which style haircut should she do on her pubis for the shoot and added that, at that moment, she has all natural down there. I answered her that she should leave it as it is.

On the next day we moved to Simeiz - a small town 20 km from Yalta. It is famous for it's nude beach. People from many countries go there for their vacation. The beach is located on huge rocks so it is very hard to get there. Once we arrived, Olja amd I both got naked, went for a quick swim, and started shooting. People around were very interested in the process of shooting. One of them came to us during our break. He told us that he came from Novosibirsk city, in Siberia, more than 2000 km away. When we finished our shoot, we relaxed and had a few beers, after climbing the rocks.

When I arrived back to my apartment in Yalta, one very unpleasant surprise was waiting for me - the water, both cold and hot, was cut off for the night, so I could only take a shower in the morning.

The next day, I left for Sevastopol - the city where the Black Sea Russian Naval base is located.

As soon as I rented an apartment, I went to the beach to search for models. In a day or two I met a very interesting girl - Pamela. When I approached her for the first time, I thought she was not older than 23-25… but as I discovered later Pamela was 32 years old. I was really surprised because she looks much younger than her true age. Pamela has very slim body and thin, graceful features. We spent a lot of time walking and talking… At first, Pamela agreed to pose then she changed her mind and was very uncertain in her intentions… but finally she agreed again and really enjoyed our shoot.

A few days later, I called Ksusha and she came to our shoot with her friend Vika. Ksusha is a very energetic person and has a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. Vika is the opposite to Ksusha - very soft and gentle... even shy. She has perfectly shaped breasts which any hollywood starlet would be jealous of. We traveled to the vineyards, outside Alushta, where I shot both Ksusha and Vika.

For the next few days, my search for new models proved unsuccessful. But, as fate would have it, when I had decided to leave Alushta, I met Tati. Tati lives and works in Crimea. She is a very sociable person. I first saw her from behind. She walked like a goddess. Then, when I came around her and saw her extremely cute face with a scatter of freckles on it, I just had to introduce myself. First Tati took my words with distrust, but while I was talking and showing her my photos she changed her attitude.

After Tati's shoot, I head to Yalta where I could shoot another Crimean model Olja.

Everything an erotic photographer needs! So I packed my bags and went there.

For my first time traveling to Ukraine, I decided to stay in the capital of Crimea - Simferopol. I was planning to walk through the streets of the city to find girls who could be interested in posing for me. I was also planning to meet up with a few girls I knew from internet communication - Oxana and Ksusha.

During my first day in Simferopol, I spent all day learning the city. I discovered that the best place to find models is the center of the city. And for the rest of my days there, I hung out in this area.

On the first day I also met Oxana and we arranged a shoot the next day. We decided to go to the colorful, flowery fields. The wind was mischievous that day, it constantly played with Oxana's hair and messed it about. Despite such difficult shooting conditions, Oxana persevered and modeled like a true professional.

A few days later, I met Ksusha. She even brought another model with her - Vika and I decided to shoot them later. I was talking with many girls during my stay in Simferopol.

Some were interested, some not. But one girl was really interested, her name is Val. She is studying to become a painter. When I saw a girl with such a cute face I decided to ask her to model for me immediately. Val had a piercing under her lower lip and looked like a true artist - decent and down-to-earth. For our second meeting Val even brought a friend - Oksi. We arranged a shoot for the next day.

We went to the mountains, between Simferopol and the sea, in the region of the famous Crimea caves. It was a really hot day.

At first I shot the girls in open spaces withthe mountains as abackdrop.But when the heat become too uncomfortable,we went searching for a cool, shady location.

We soon found just that: a place near a mountain creek. I shot Oksi and Val there. Then we went further and saw a horse and a young mare grazing in a field. I shot Val there. The young mare was constantly trying to eat our things ;)

On the next day, I head toward the sea. The first town I stopped at was Alushta - the center of South Crimean shore.

In August of 2006, I went to Saint-Petersburg, to search for new models. I was going to stay there for 10 days and walk along the streets as I knew that many beautiful girls live in the city of Peter I, the Russian Tzar who founded the city and gave it his name.

On the second day, I was walking along Nevsky prospekt - the central street of Saint-Petersburg, and suddenly I saw a smiling girl running by me. I walked up to her and asked if she would like to pose for me. She immediately got interested. I told her details of my proposal. The girl was Nata as you can guess. We made arrangements to meet to discuss the details and to look through samples of my photos as well as I did not have them with me at the time. We got each others phone numbers and said our goodbyes.

I was charmed with Nata's amazing smile. It was so natural and so attractive I could not resist and smiled like an idiot in answer.

On the day we had decided to meet, I called Nata and found out that she couldn't come because her mother, who she lives with, took all the keys from home and left Nata locked in her apartment. To be honest, I thought that Nata had changed her mind about posing and was just making excuses not to come, as sometimes girls do, but we made arrangements for a meeting another day and she came, so my doubts disappeared.

I should say few words about what Nata looked like when she came for our meeting. She was dressed with a T-shirt, sport jacket and jeans with a low hip line… she put her hands in her jeans pockets and her jeans were pulled down so I could easily see her unshaven pubic hair. One thing came to mind - she's gonna be a great model. I wasn't mistaken, as I discovered later.

So I showed Nata my photos and she liked them. We arranged a shoot in the Gulf of Finland near Saint-Petersburg. On the shooting day, we met and went to the shoot location. The weather was perfect and our mood was great too.When Nata started posing, I was really surprised with the way she posed. It seemed that she had experience in posing. I even asked her about that but she told me that she poses (for me) for the first time and I came to conclusion that Nata has a very rare gift of artistry that is so necessary for all good models. I got the proof to that when I returned, a few months later, to Sant-Petersburg and shot Nata again. Her mastery of posing had greatly grown since our first shoot.

I arranged with Nata for one more shoot the next day and we said goodbye to each other. When she had left, I had a feeling that I was missing something important, as if she were my girlfriend. But I stayed calm and showed no sign of it when we met the next day. I realized that I had fallen in love with her when I left Saint-Petersburg. I should note that I fall in love with all my models, at least for the period of the shoot. That gives me a better feeling of the girl and I can discover her much better than if I was just shooting her according to job description. But what I felt with Nata was much more than that and lasted much longer than our shoot. I don't know if I succeeded in injecting these feelings into my shots...

This is up to you to decide, my dear visitors...

On the first day, we went to the pine woods and had a shoot. Then, we walked on the railway to a field. Near the field, we found an unfinished construction site made of the white bricks. We made a shoot there too. Our next plan was to find a deserted log house... and we found it.

On the next day, my plan was to shoot in morning fog, so we got up at 5:30 and saw the heavy fog around our house. But while we got some tea (10 minute, not more), the fog started to disappear very quickly so we could shoot only a very short time in it.

After fog hunting, we went to a lake that grew from an open mine and made a shoot there. We saw 1 or 2 people during our journey and for our last shoot on the sand bank, I even got naked and sunbathed during the shoot.

Nusia liked our trip a lot. So did I. In the future I will return there with another model or maybe two or more models.

I was learning the town, walking through it, from one end to the other, thanks to it's small size. I walked along the shore, asking girls to pose for me. Some of them were interested in posing but they did not want to pose nude. I took photos of some of these girls right where I met them. I also met in my hotel two guys from Donetzk - a city in the east of Ukraine. They came to Crimea for a vacation, like I did. So when I wasn't searching for girls, we spent time together sunbathing and playing sports.

In Alushta, like in many other towns on the shore, you will find many artists who can paint your portrait with pastel or coal, in a couple of hours, on the street. I was watching the work of many painters. Some were good, some not so good, but a couple of young girl's portraits touched my soul and I decided to make their author's acquaintance. The painter was a middle-aged woman. Her name was Zinaida. We become close very quickly and I visited her almost every day as I was walking by.

In a few days I succeed in my model search. I met a girl named Valya. She was from Simferopol and worked in one of Alushta's cafes during her summer vacation to earn some money. She agreed to pose for me and we arranged a shoot. That very evening, I shot her. She appeared as a very pretty girl with soft, smooth skin and graceful lines. Later, I even invited her to a shoot in my city and the following spring, I returned to Crimea to shoot her one more time.

I should tell you about one more girl who posed for me that summer in Alushta. I do not even remember her name. I was sitting on a bench, searching with my eyes for pretty girls, and suddenly saw a blond girl with a huge rucksack, dressed in short black shorts, a black T-shirt and gym-shoes. Her skin was red from sunbathing. I approached her immediately. We started talking. She told me that she was passing through Alushta just for the one day. I proposed to show her a view of Alushta from the mountain and she agreed. I told her that I was an erotic photographer and asked her to pose for me. She said that she didn't have enough time for a proper shoot, but she was interested to pose. She took off her clothes and I took some shots. Then I took her to a bus and we said goodbye to each other. I never saw her again.

I had spent just 10 days in Alushta but I was very sad when I needed to return home and I decided to get back there once more at the very least.
