Maria, one of a member of Ukranian freelancer Model gang, that I have shooted the most. Mainly because she has a boyfriend in turkey and comes here more often. Sometimes, with Maria, we forget that we are on a shooting, as we chat a lot.

The shot was near the Bosphorus, but I did not get the bosphorus view on porpose; I wanted her to be in an image where the sea would look uncertain and show her in her deep motion..

This was an interesting shoot; with all aspects: I forgot the date (she reminded me..), therefore I had not prepared a concept in my head, we were in the middle of nowhere in the city, there was no park where the park was supposed to be; and furthermore the next morning I accidentally deleted all the images..Well, at the end I saved my images with an app, made the shooting from out of nothing (thanks to Maria for her support and patience..)

My first shoot with the Ukrainain freelancers group. Also, one of my first shoots with serious models. We did the shooting sesion in the hotel room, I was very amateur, had no idea what to do, was a little anxious...most of the images were out of my style, not good, but I was glad that I got this one out..
Frankly saying, if Maria was not such a warm , easy going , friendly model, I could have left the hotel room with no result.

I think it must have been our 7th or 8th shoot with Maria. She is an Ukranian freelance model. As we did a lot of shootings together, we started to know each other well. Sometimes the conversations last more than the shooting.
Maria travells a lot, she does lots of shooting almost everywhere. As being an ukrainian model, people usualy like to shoot nude or erotic with her, as she has a beautiful body. But, that creates a dilemma on her - she got stuck in wanting to have more artistic shoots and getting attention for her beauty.
As she gained a lot experiences on that freelance life, I try to convince her for being a blog writer - sharing her experiences on countries, cultures, photo sessions, photographer"s, waiting on airport, etc etc. Thats why the chatting sessions are a lot of fun and sometimes we forget that, the main reason we came together was actually doing a shooting session :))
Although she knows my shooting style, each time I need to get an effort to put her into my dramatic, artistic concept. She says that, she sometimes suffers of not getting enough demand for her artistic side on her shootings.
