MAKING OF DANA NICULA / june 2008

Dana rocks !
She rocks the mic on her radio shows, she rocks the clubs at her DJ gigs and she rocks even more when posing for me !
Some photographs... soon!

SHOOTING IN CHICAGO, IL.

My US Tour 2008 is still in progress. As I have my DJ gigs in weekends only I also did a couple of photo sessions on week days...

 Here you have three videos with Katrell, Mila and Marlena. 

Katrell is american, Mila was born in Kazakhstan and 

beautiful Marlena is polish. 

All of them are just incredible gorgeous !

That was Chicago, with a great help from my friends Adi and Bogdan. Make up : Iuliana Ardac. (did a great job hon! keep it up!) 

I also did a very nice shooting with an worldwide famous lingerie 

model in New York... 

But this... a little bit later. ;-) 

ANCA PARGHEL

An impressive voice, a beautiful woman, mother, and a tough fighter for life !
If I have to define her in only two words, those would be "POSITIVE ENERGY" !
Recently I had the privilege and great pleasure to take some portraits of ANCA PARGHEL for Eva Magazine.
She is one of the most charismatic, energic and joyful person I've ever met !

ROXANA UNGUREANU

It's quite an ambition to shoot portraits with the winner of "Miss Playboy" contest.
Surprinsigly she was very good at and the job was easy!
We just couldn't limit ourselves to portraits and moved further to some skin also. Shooting was great and pictures accordingly.
Delight your eyes with a couple of shots :

STANJENEL TZAC-PAC

The campaign of Radio 21 has an amazing talkability...
And that is because of STANJENEL !
A normal guy from Galati lives a superstar's life !
Two weeks of ... everything ! Including this fashion photo shooting I did for him.
Then, nothing !
The guy acts natural and has great abilities to handle the spoiling and those thousands of fans.

RANDOM FASHION/BEAUTY SHOTS

'Mess' is a normal status of my hard drives. (over 4TB). I was looking for a specific photograph today and also found some selection with a couple of old shots of mine. Some are more recent but some are really ancient. I am proud with them as they witness my evolution.
Relax and enjoy !

LORENA TRICA "SUICIDE BRIDES" CAMPAIGN

Romanian designer Lorena Trica asked me to make the photographs for her latest collection. It's called "Suicide Brides" and the victimes were the girls from Wassabi and Diana Bisinicu. The location was Lipscani Street, old center of Bucharest.
We really had fun !

Have you ever wondered how the "voice" looks like? She's one of them... One in a million voices you hear on the radio and start thinkin': how she looks like? Well, she is ALICE, the voice from Kiss FM. The voice with big, blue eyes... Enjoy !

DANA, I KNOW HER STORY !

An impressive picture from an old photo session with Dana.
She's a story herself...

MY ADORABLE BABY

I wish I could instantly write a love poem to describe my lovely girlfriend...
As, I am not so into poetry, I do phototograph her every day with my eyes and save those shots into my heart! Sometimes I also use my digital camera, more useful to let the world know how much I love her!

DEE.

Delia Opran aka DEE is a very good friend of mine. You know that feeling... when you know you're connected to someone... and we are! A powerful and also smooth voice as Insound and a very inspired writer. Lyrics and more... Very stylish in fashion and punk in attitude. 

Two days ago we "performed" an 8 hours photo session. Relaxed and charismatic she did a great job on the set. Pictures confirm! 

Enjoy a few shots and get ready to be mesmerized with the INSOUND album! Out on 21st of march.
