Answers to common questions?. Photographer and Blogger in Kaliningrad, as well as around the world — Anton Semenov

How do I choose a location?

I have an electronic catalog with city locations. This is the link that I send you after booking a date (for prepayment). This link opens a list of locations based on my professional photos, which will allow you to imagine how you will look in a particular place in the city.

The geography of your work?

I travel to any point of the city and region. Departure to the sea or the region of 10$ to the cost of shooting (provided that public transport goes there). If not, then you additionally pay for a taxi or provide any transfer at your expense.

How to choose clothes for shooting? 

I have a mini-guide on clothes that I recommend to come to the shoot, I provide it to all customers. The main message of which is to prefer things of calm tones: white, black, brown, khaki, and so on. Without the use of acidic shades and pronounced prints on clothing.   

I don’t know how to pose?

And you don’t have to. I’ll give you small tasks like walking, running, circling, and so on. After all, everyone can walk? Of course, I direct a person if I see when something is wrong, for example: my fingers are clenched into a fist or my shoulders are tense. I have a lot of viewing experience, don’t worry. 

Can I get the raw photos?

Yes, of course, it’s free. I need to inform you about this in advance, as they weigh a lot and I don’t keep them on my computer for long.

What is “raw photos”?

This is “raw " material — photos without processing (in raw format). On average, about 1000 pieces are obtained per shoot. If you prefer to use your own photo processing — just “raw " — this is the most flexible format for such purposes.

How does the shooting process work?

We meet and while we go to the place of shooting-get acquainted, communicate, establish a heavenly connection:) I can stop in some places and ask you to take photos if I see the beauty in this place, and that always turns out different shots. We’re not in a hurry, so I don’t have an hourly rate. 

How do you send your finished photos?

I use the built-in cloud storage of my site, this is the site where you are currently located. Photos are stored for 6 months. I’ll send you a link and you can use it to download photos one at a time or all of them at once. All rights reserved and only you will have access to this link, but if you wish, we can share it with anyone.

What is SOULAB jewelry?

For each customer, if desired, I can take any or more jewelry from the Kaliningrad brand. This will complement your image or emphasize the places where you wanted to put emphasis. Huge selection: rings, earrings, chokers, bracelets, etc. You tell me in advance the decoration in which you would like to shoot. We’re doing a shoot, and I’m taking the jewelry back to the store. This is a free service. 

Do you do retouching?

Yes, I do light retouching of all large portraits (chest-deep and larger). Light retouching includes removing pimples and smoothing out bruises under the eyes. If you need glossy or magazine retouching, please tell me about it in advance. I have a specialist in this area in my team. The cost of this service is calculated individually. 

Do you work with makeup artists? 

Yes, I have regular specialists with whom I work. Make-up artist services are paid separately.
