Since I don’t have the original PDFs, the images had to be taken with a camera. Please forgive the quality.

Liza and Stepan look FABULOUS on a photo from the same magazine.

It was a very last minute wedding! Stepan and Liza hired me a week before their “much talked about in Russia” wedding celebration. Stepan is a son of one of my favorite directors and actors Nikita Mikhalkov and the great actress Anastasia Vertinskaya. Stepan also owns several high end restaurants that are an absolutely must visit when in Moscow. I ate at two and have to say the food was delicious and interior is very tastefully done. Liza is a very successful model, beautiful inside and out, and from the moment I first met her (at her birthday party two days before the wedding) I really liked her.

I want to thank Aga of Aga Images for second shooting. It was Aga’s first time in Russia and all she wanted to see was Lenin (Unfortunately Red Square was closed for the Moscow Day celebration). As for me, the last time I was in Russia was six years ago when I received “The Photographer of the Year” Award in Moscow. I have got to say, a lot changed since then for sure!

Gotta love those shoes!

Grand entrance!

Live Sculptures! They were throwing flower petals at Liza and Stepan as they made their way to the reception site accompanied by the legendary gypsies.

The party started with Horonko Orchestra

Stepan’s sister Anna Mikhalkova and mom, Anastasia Vertinskaya.

Stepan’s brother, an actor Artem Mikhalkov smoking a flavored tobacco, very popular in Russia.

Liza and Stepan’s first dance was very well choreographed!!

There were a lot of celebrities ( mostly russians that I don’t know) but I recognized Patti Smith who shared a table with Aga and me.

The band Blast is blasting with an amazing light show projected on the Museum.

It took 5 men to carry the cake made in Stepan’s bakery Хлеб & Co

Sergey Mazaev of Moral Codex is my new favorite russian singer! Here is Stepan’s son admiring Mr. Mazaev’s singing.

Grand Fireworks!

Dior fashion show and Charlize Theron

Gulnara — Sun, 20 May 2007 20:35:00 +0000

A week ago I shot a Dior fashion show assignment for “Fashion Wire Daily”. Charlize Theron was there and I absolutely admire her looks and talent. She is SO gorgeous! I think she liked me too as I felt she was posing just for me. Perhaps because I was the only female shooter or because I was wearing Prada and Essey Miake not the jeans as the rest of the shooters
Here are the shots. The rest of the Dior fashions are here.

Penélope Cruz

It would be a crime not to post some photos of shoes!! I can understand now why the models get paid so much. I can’t imaging walking on one of those Even some of the models couldn’t!
