Dozed off In Moscow

It took me more than a week to meet everyone I wanted to meet and to get started on my shooting routine here in Moscow. The weather is amazing and it looks like this summer is going to be promising. I need to renovate my old od apartment badly but for now I am staying with my parents which certainly makes both parties a little happier. Athough that old place is nothing short of a mess - it makes a pretty cool studio :) Super small location but quite spectacular when it comes to creative possibilities.
Two of my photo friends helped me to bring my new couch to the place and ended up staying until late. We decided to call up some amateur models and 3 girls showed up at 11 pm. Speaking of making the same thing possible in LA - No way in Hell you can get a model that you have never met on the same day esp. THAT late. Love love love Russian models. Professional. Ready to work!
Anyway - these are some model tests for Ogla (nude model) and Kate (dressed)

I will post more shots later but to make a long story short, I was trying out the location and some tricks with lights and quick concepts.

I wanted to create some images that woud speak to the viwer on multiple levels... depending of the audience's level of deapth pf perception I am hoping that everyone would see something that goes a little beyond the initial pic.
