THE SPIDER Milena Sidorova

Journey Through a Dream, part 1 by Parish Kohanim

''I got my degree in film but love of still photography persuaded me to fallow my heart's desire and now since the industry tis taken a very strong direction in videography I did 3 experimental videos that depicted my photographic style. Almost all of the special effects were done in camera during the shoot and NOT in post.''

Steve Winters

I feel a great privilege to know Steve Winters, a National Geographic Photographer who is not only a great person but also an outstanding photographer dedicated to bringing us extraordinary photos and elevating our awareness about the magn

ificent endangered species such as snow leopards, tigers, jaguars etc. His patience is also remarkable because he may spend months trying to locate and capture these amazing photos. Thank you Steve for your service and the gift of such remarkable photos.

Parsih's Painterly Portraits

Another example of my Painterly Portraits which I shot several years ago sweet Jenna. Here again, the body language the mood, facial expression and most importantly the connection with the person you photographing during the shoot is so crucial.

Parish's New Painterly Portraits

''I've always been fascinated by master painters and have always had a desire to paint but since I don't know how to draw or paint in a realistic style, I've chosen photography as a tool to enable me to do exactly that!... Create painterly portraits! I've done many of these portraits within the past 10 years but this image of Acacia is very special to me because I've never done anything like it before. The beautiful part was when I was photographing her she really understood and gave me the kind of look, energy and mood that I was after.  This is the incredible, gift and power of photography that I cherish... The priceless gift of meeting all the special people and their contributions throughout my career.''

''GIVING ART THROUGH YOUR HEART AND SOUL''

Gustava Dudamel / Mambo Video

We can all choose to be our very best, ''magnificent'' as Aristotle puts it. Gustavo Dudamel who is the most charismatic conductor of our times exemplifies this so well. As the attendance for most symphony orchestra performances are declining, Gustavo's concerts are completely sold out and he is one of the world's most sought-after conductors and you could see why... He is so passionate about his work, loves what he does and his contagious energy exhilarates audiences worldwide. 

Look for yourself and see if you agree. Fast forward this youtube video about two-thirds and watch him perform Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, Mambo. Even if classical is not your kind of music, you can certainly feel his love, exuberance and great gift.

Incomparable Talent Beyond Imagination

I'm sure everyone is enjoying watching the Olympic gymnastics competitions.  It's remarkable to see the dedication and skill levels of all these olympians which seems humanly impossible.  It's not often that one gets a chance to work on a once in a lifetime project.  This exactly what I've been working on for 3 1/2 years with the most extraordinary, talented and committed performers whose abilities reach far beyond gymnastics, dance and ballet.  The majority of the images have been a frozen instant of time, shot at 1/5,000 of a second.  It has been the most profound pleasure for me to work with such gifted and exceptional olympians of a different level for my upcoming unique, very elegant, limited edition coffee table book " Luminosa ", which will be published by mid 2013.  In addition to their stellar talent, their quest for perfection is not only remarkable but unparalleled.

Parish Kohanim's Canon Workshop - Yousef Seidu

Thank you Yousef for your such kind words!!! You're really amazing and I loved your enthusiasm and your great energy!

What a difference!

                                                                                                                                                   A

I recently came back from teaching a workshop in CA. My first stay was at a boutique  hotel (picture A) in LA...
Exquisite decor, extraordinary and moody lighting. Then I stayed in another hotel in a smaller town in Southern CA which was the same ordinary hotel decor (picture B).
It made me think that everything we do in life could be approached to the highest level of artistry. Stand out from everyone else or play it safe and look like everyone else...

Canon Digital Learning Workshop

Just had a few minutes to review some of the shots from Canon Digital Learning Workshop. That my assistant Dilhan took. They bring back great memories of being such an energetic and great group of people.
We did so many different and fun photo/lighting situations. I think pushed everybody too hard. And I think I wore everybody out. All the emails which I receive from the attendees so positive and rewarding. Thank you my friends!
