Hello there! Today, we are pleased to present the photo project "V GLYANETS" from faraway Russia, whose name translates as "End up in a glam magazine," as well as the members of its team. The photo project was created by a group of professionals and like-minded people (photographers, retouchers, make-up artists, and hair stylists) as a commercial project for organizing and conducting turnkey art photo shoots with the publication of the results in magazines around the world. This project allows many people to fulfill their dream of appearing on the pages of a glossy magazine that can be shown to family, friends, and colleagues, revealing their uniqueness and beauty, and boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
In order for photos of ordinary people (not professional models) to be published in a magazine, it is not necessary for the model to have an ideal appearance, be young, or be able to pose for the camera. However, it is important to have a well-thought-out concept for the shoot and a professional team that can transform the model into a "glamour star." The team's goal is to create a comfortable environment for the model, allowing them to feel confident and at ease in front of the camera. To achieve this, the team works with the model to choose the right concept, location, and outfit (clothing and accessories) that can highlight the model's unique qualities. Before the shoot, the model undergoes professional makeup and styling to match the chosen look. A pose director is present during the shoot to help the model look as natural and harmonious as possible.
As part of the photo project, the team usually shoots art photographs of the staged genre in the style of fine art and fashion, and less often staged casual. When preparing for photo shoots, the team is inspired by the photographs of other photographers who shoot in the same style, works of art (literature, painting, sculpture, and cinema), often creating their own vision by merging various elements. When preparing for the shooting of the "The Black Coat" series of photographs, the team was inspired by black-and-white films and photographs of actresses from the early and mid-20th century. The heroine of the series of photographs appears before us as a movie diva, beautiful, desirable, and sexy, but also a little tired, because it is difficult to always be under the scrutiny of paparazzi photographers and millions of fans' eyes.
The project team consists of three members:
Tatiana Chubchenko, the project's creative director, is a photographer by training and a graduate of the Moscow Academy of Photography. In addition to overall project management and generating ideas for photo shoots, she is responsible for posing and lighting during shooting. She has been professionally engaged in photography for over 15 years, teaching photography and providing mentorship.
- Artem Venglinskii, the project's photographer and retoucher, is a graduate of the Moscow Higher School of Photography. He has been engaged in photography for over 10 years. He has a large number of publications in European and American magazines, including front and back covers.
- Alyona Kondrashkina, make-up artist for theater, film, and TV. Trainer, expert, judge, and speaker on permanent and decorative makeup, winner of various Russian and international awards, and has been in the beauty industry for over 10 years.
The result of the team's work and the project depends on the efforts of each individual member, but when the team consists of like-minded individuals who share a common vision and desire to create, the outcome always exceeds expectations and brings a sense of satisfaction to clients, the team's members and the general public.
