Portfolio for 2011


I have been away for months for holidays, talking about my book, joining projects and made some commercial work, I got macbook pro and now i have the time finally to update my portfolio, with better quality and new things with it. I started doing videography along with photography for clients, models. 
We started to do our first work with my first model Ksyusha, Farah was the makeup artist, she did a great job in the makeup and got this amazing foundation. The idea of the video is really great for people who sometimes think the makeup is photoshoped.
we didn't use any photoshop at this one, I felt that I should leave them that way. 
please enjoy the video and i hope you will like it, subscribe if you are in youtube, and wait for more work.
We used aluminum foil for the background which gave the glowing effect and reflections.
you can try it yourself and you will see how it gives the special atmosphere for your photos.

Judging Photography Competition at Murdoch University

It was a great honour to be one of the judges for Murdoch University Dubai Photography Competition.
We went to the university 2 week ago to to see students' photographs from high schools & universities around UAE and to select winners for each category.
I just wanted to say that all of them did great job and I loved their photographs.
Keep shooting because you are doing it right and directly from your heart.

Their Third Annual Student Photography Exhibition was last week on Wednesday.

For more information please check this to read more about it and to check some of winners' photographs.

I know I don't post like I used to but you can always find me on tumblr or Twitter

There is one more post coming very soon :)

Wesgreen lecture and the book tour

First of Feb, I had a lecture at Wesgreen School for Design & Art department students to talk about my career and my photobook "Movements".  The faculty & staff  were very welcoming and I would like to thank Mr Asif Mehmood the senior head of Art & Design at Wesgreen for helping and organising it for me. Also for Mr Yamam for  preparing and helping me out on the day of lecture.

the School is really good. It was such a wonderful experience to meet the wonderful students who some of them have really promising future and I'm proud of them. It's really nice to meet young fresh people who also have great sense of humour. I enjoyed the most the Q&A, some of the students' questions were really smart and actually good.

I'm have more plans to visit some Universities & Schools for the tour of the book / talking briefly about my career, Q&A. whenever i have time, if you are in one and would like me to come you can send me an email and I will try my best to be there. It's always great to meet new people^^

updates and news

I don't know how to begin this post, the weather is changing here so normally we don't shoot outdoors till the winter is almost ready, ok long story. I've made few changes, the .com is not working for the moment because i am trying to transfer it, so i got the .net just in case something happen and i lose the .com
so from now you can check http://lady-design.net also I've added a new folder called: Movements and there you can find few selection of images from my book. many told me i should join in competitions with some of the photos, but i think now i am too late to do it since i took long vacation to rest and get myself back to fashion photography. there are many plans but I'm taking them slowly for some reasons.

I'm now updating my portfolio, I'm looking for young new faces, I prefer blonde or light brown hair, female,
so if you think you can recommend someone please send me your photos at ladydesign2007@gmail.com 

so please check my twitter and join to get some updates just in case if I can't update here.
