Polina Osherov Photography from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

I have been a fan of Polina Osherov for a few years, which is when I came across her work. There is something magical about her work and after spending some time with her team, it’s a combination of talents. But Polina has a connection with the talent that they seem to understand and from the poses to the color grading, it comes out as an Osherov piece. I was impressed with stylist Nikki Sutton and her very direct way of getting things done but in a way that is both collaborative and efficient. Irina Green works her magic with hair styling and on this particular day, she was working with hair hats, which I never knew existed until this shoot. Kiralee Hubbard of EyeMax, who I have worked with before and she always seems to transform her subject into something that enhances their own natural beauty.

I always enjoy “picking the brain” of other artists and to find a little about what makes them tick and where they pull inspiration from. What I did notice is that this team has fun when they work together and that radiates to the talent, which in turn makes for a productive shoot.

This was a shot I took while filming a high fashion photo shoot with Fashion Photographer Polina Osherov.  I have been a long time fan of her work and was excited that she asked me to be a part of this shoot.  I am always looking for ways to keep my creativity alive and to find inspiration in many things.  I love fashion photography because it challenges you to communicate a message to the viewer in one single frame.  What I like about this image is that it is an in between shot where no direction was being given.   I love black and white photos because it is simple and was a contrast to the dramatic look of the models.

We will be producing a video to explore where Polina and her team get their inspiration and how they approach each concept or project.  There is so much I can learn from these types of shoots in terms of lighting and direction and it is valuable in applying to cinematography.  Cinematography is all about framing, composition, lighting and movement and all of these elements were experimented with during this shoot.  I talked a little with Polina, who’s father was a Cinematographer in Russia.  I would love to sit down with him some time and pick his brain.  I’m sure he has some great stories.
