hi nikola
i'm not a photographer really, so my opinions shouldn't carry much weight, but looking at your gallery i noticed a couple of things. first, you have a lot of pictures of very beautiful women. the women, however, tend to have a uniform expression, and look very cold and distant and haughty- they're all the same. to me this means you're objectifying them.
the other kind of picture you have is the "laughing/smiling" kind, which, in its own way, are all the same as well.
what i'm saying is that you should try to show more of the subject's personality in your portraits, which probably means treating them less like models and more like people...
to my mind, your best pictures are Josefin II, BW; Fire II; and The Cowboy from Matochina II, which i think is quite a good picture.

your deviant art profile says you've spent time in Sofia... tell us about Sofia, please. i'm very curious about eastern europe!

Well, you see...I hate being "quite vogue at the moment", or quite "now", I hate definitions like that. This brings photography down to a ...trade, like being an accountant, I suppose. And it's not, it's an art. Or least it's supposed to be...:-) And IMHO lots of famous and well-paid photographers are just creating images, not photographs, no passion, no emotion, no heart. I can easily quote names, but what's the point? And as lousy or not-"now" photographer as I am, I'm trying to craft every single one of my photographs with all the emotion and passion I can (very idealistic), like in the attached image...It's nothing much photographically speaking, but it's not emotionless, and that's the most important thing :-)

And by the way, on the small JPGs my photographs look plasticky indeed, but on a full-res file I guarantee you that the texture is all there :-)

The nightlife in Sofia is great, you can't go wrong there!!! Full of chicks, too. As for the art, fashion and literary scenes...Well, it's certainly not London or NY, but it's OK. Actually the most beautiful places in Bulgaria are outside Sofia and rarely visited by foreign tourists :-)

The girl in the top picture is gorgeouse

She's not as gorgeous as you Chris Summerfield. Wow is that really you? I'm amazed

xxx

Chris: thanks, man. Well, I always try to make my photographs as emotional as possible, at the end that's what it's all about - emotion and passion. If not, what's the point...?

And yes, the girl from the top photo is amazing, she's a 17 y.o. German model working in Milan, a very strange kid...Apart from being visually gorgeous (and that's obvious), she's amazingly smart too - when I told her that my favorite book was Sartre's "Nausea" she shot me dead with a 30-min analysis of the French existentialists...A 17-yeard-old model! She really impressed me.

I'm attaching another photograph of her. Pure perfection.

wow. i'm quite impressed to hear she's 17, she could pass for much older. i love it when you can't judge a woman's age, it enhances the mystique by a billion percent
she looks like she could get big... i'll be watching haha
