Did you have babies in Russia before?
Wonderful pictures! They look more like paintings than photos. She is very talented.
Suspect she could do almost as well with an old Instamatic. With all of this, it is the picture taker, not the camera.
She is. And how Blessed they are living in a place like that. Magical is a perfect word for it.
Thanks, Twotone!
Thanks
Perhaps in a past life. ...I had babies in rural USA and that was probably better, but I'm not much of a photographer.
Yes, take nothing away from her, except the impression that she is a novice. I suspect she used a Lensbaby for the "Lomography" effect, a style any Russian would be well familiar with, and that she used something beside than the camera's built in flash. Her separation of her subject from the background by her control of depth of field tells me she used more than a kit lens. My guess is that we are looking at a 50mm prime at f1.4 or maybe even f1.2.
Beautiful! The ones of the boy with the giant dog are just darling.
She also has a good photo editing program.
luv it!
Very nice work.
What an eye for a scene she has!
Nice but in these days of Photoshop, you wonder if these are the actual images, or Photoshop enhanced?

Second Bored Panda post I’ve seen on FR today. What a great site. Amazing stuff. thanks.
Nice !

While the pictures are indeed beautiful, I saw an underlying sense of depression in them.....But then again, that’s what life in Russia is.
Thank you for this post. Magical is the word.
