We had a very busy month: a lot of assignment work, LIVE masterclass and preparation for our girls first school, Montessori. Eventually we got everyone ready, washed and potty-trained, and Monday was a first day of school for our girls and some sort of beginning of a new life for us:-)
Now I will have more time to describe photo-sessions we do and (my favorite:-) to upload more photos including “before and after” on this blog.
Here, at AKELstudio we have so many plans and ideas:
We are going to change our stock web site www.akelphoto.com to specializing only in water stock photography. We want to re-design our Portfolio and run our LIVE masterclasses to a regular basis.
Also I will fill up my inspirational and motivational collection (www.kapreez.com) with best photographers, designers, retouchers and readings.
Now photos of our first school day:

It is not to easy to find lessons or tutorials how Pro prepare images of models for magazines and advertising. I try to accumulate information what I learn from different professional retouchers in this tutorial.

Mandir is the name for a Hindu place of worship and prayer. The word mandir is composed of two words, Man and Dir, whose meanings are mind and still, respectively. Therefore, a mandir is a place where the mind becomes still; a place where we experience peace from worldly problems. For centuries, the mandir has remained a spiritual, educational, social and physical cornerstone of Indian society.

It is very unusual to find something like this in Georgia. The place is truly beautiful and the marble carvings are amazing. Unfortunately we can take photos only from a distance. The rest beauty I’ll try to remember:-)

The idea of photoshoot with color gels was hanging in the air in our studio for a quite some time, and now Kevi Redding, beautiful young singer we were working before, asked us to do a portrait for her using colored lighting. After Kevi’s photo-shoot was done I wanted to try this lighting for myself:-)
The setup of this photo-session, some tips and video you can find on our photographer’s blog, supported by Alex Koloskov. On this post I’ll show you only the images.
