I am resuming my workshops around the planet. This summer most likely it will be the USA (Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco) Kazakhstan (Almaty) and Russia (Khabarovsk). Should you be interested, please leave a comment, or send a message.

It's been quite a while since I posted here... Time to come back. Hello deviants!

my wife was on call on the new year eve, and just sitting home alone did not really tickle my fancy as a way of celebrating. so, i called some understanding people, and we went downtown to do some shootin'. here it is: http://www.shanidze.com/WebGalleries/santa-robbery after the shoot santa said: "well, it was definitely better than the evening that i had planned for myself". you know, something like this coming from santa means a lot... irakly

San Francisco workshop exceeded my wildest expectations. People in that town are morbidly amazing. Or perhaps even amazingly morbid. Or both. Anyway, we shot some heavy sh.., I mean, stuff starring two genuine babies. Of course, watching David Lynch movies the night before could not go without consequences... http://www.shanidze.com/WebGalleries/Omen

Despite that, Metro does not really tickle my fancy. Usually I try my best to refrain from traveling underground, but now traffic is so congested that Metro has become virtually the only option. Besides, it is one of the best venues for candid photography :) Leica M8, Summilux 1.4/35 http://www.shanidze.com/WebGalleries/metro/ --
