I spent the last week in Kiev, Ukraine. It has been a dream of mine to finally meet the woman whose work I am just in love with. She is one of the top Russian/Ukraine artists and her images are published extensively. I have been following her work for a few years now and I am always amazed at each creation she brings out. I was so surprised when I got in touch with her that she would like to do some work with me. Her name is Kassandra and you can see her work here.

I took some shots of her in an old house in the center of Kiev:




I just wanted to share this cos it has really made my year :)

She'd be labeled a heretic or a terrorist by the purists. :-P

Congrats on a great opportunity and experience, Gary! Anyone who inspired you is automatically an inspiration to me. Awesome stuff from her and from you.

Unbelievable talent Gary and congrats for making all the right moves. Think Art's right though... there would probably be a thread trashing her work eventually... :)
