I love using my fog machine for photoshoots. In this case we tried this interesting silver and gold makeup for an experimental shoot. I also love doing photoshoots just for fun and try different ideas or themes and see what happens. Put on some music and we had a fun afternoon. A special thanks to my models who got all messy for these photos.
The first time I visited Ukraine, I came through Krakow, Poland and visited the western Ukrainian city of L’viv. After my time in L’viv, I went deeper into Ukraine and after an overnight train ride from L’viv, made it to Kyiv.

I had a short time to explore this beautiful city. Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and when I was there it was super peaceful, low-stress, and calm.

I’ve seen this soviet ufo style in other countries too, interesting!
