As said before: Stunning! Terrific imagination, great use of studio, wonderful models. cc

Definitely one of among many creative and highly individual portfolios. While many at this forum seek to capture the beauty or the ugliness that's out there, your work is certainly on the other side of the spectrum. Not many photographers like you here. These pictures stand out from a mile away.

Thanks for the inspiration! Please continue!

very interesting portfolio, i love your work, the very best this photonet. Congrats

I like most of the photos in your portfolio. I think you've a creative style. It's true there is something 'dark' and dramatic, but I like it. A fine eye for composition indeed

In this portfolio there is a very large number of photo I really like!

Your work is outstanding. When you are different you could be an outKast. I love your porfolio and take those bod ratings as a complement, because they are not ready for you. Maybe in 10 years.

I hope, that you arrange, in connection with here this member of your site sergey belichenko. it regularly comes on my page at you on a site and underestimates an estimation to me. This person does not have not one photo on your site and it is engaged in the present wrecking on a site. I ask you, to arrange in relation to it. My greetings. Elena Vasileva

ne chego ne pon'ala iz tvoih ssylok ??? CHto eto takoye ?

My favorite ones have to be the zebras! I'm glad that I have seen them so thank you for allowing me.

Those zebra nudes are very cool!

one of the most unique usages of nudity i have seen...i ALMOST forgot they were nudes...

I love the work you do. The world is a dark place at times. We need to see that side also. Keep it up.

I am truly in awe of your work. How you folks manage to still be so creative as you are...in picture after picture is to me nothing less of a small enigma. Though my comment might dissapair amongst the masses here... Know that you indeed do have a admirer from this part of the world. Ivar :-)

Very beautiful and original portfolio. Highly creative. If some (e.g., "Mr. Haydon") are not capable of appreciating your work, that is their loss, not yours. Keep up the great work.

very good porfolio,don?t hear some voices that seem like a church man or feminist movement (don?t visit my folder because I know that I will condetate to the hell)but tis porfolio is very good executate, and have strong..The art must be free,and must show free too ..good luck my friends and thanks for sharing you art

sergey belichenko , Here this person, constantly comes on my photos, and puts to me 1-1 *** to me the help is necessary. Prompt me as I can complain to the manager of this person. As I understand at it to me simple revenge, but I cannot understand for what. Also look at its page, it does not have not one photo. And as such person can, put to me such low estimations!?????

Dear Elena & Vitaly Vasilieva, moi herasho, let me congratulation u becuse your beautiful photos, I like your work. Pazhalosta don't care about rates! and don't care who rates!!! everywhere u can find some bugs! do u know what is SPAM?! they r spam! so don't care about them and do your job, that must be enough for u that some professional photographers like Misha M, Youri, and .... not only rate you but it must be a honer that they visit your photos(anyhow u r one of them, means professional as they are). it means your photos are very good (ochin herasho!) I enjoy your beautiful photos and appreciate you. waiting for new from u. excuse my English and Russian ;) Regards

Your Portfolio is one of the GREATEST Elena and you SHOULD be proud of your work. Great work and amazing compositions. Michael

Great job!!! I just found your folder but I manager to look at all your shots and admire a very distinct eye. IMHO, I think that you have a distinctive stile followed by your very artistic creativity. Keep up the work and don?t get caught up with the ratings. I think the most important thing is the comments.

Regards,

JM

Dear Elena & Vitaly Vasilieva, private again, your photos are like flower, the file attached (one of my photos), show u that sometims fly comes and sit on a flower, so don't expect always see buttrfly on your photos! ;) ;*

Excerllent words Mohammed Reza!!! I contributed a lot of pictures here. some good I think, some less. And whenI got low ratings I felt that I was a bad photographer. But now, after all these months here and knowing the work of real phjotogarphers it shows that those people are the real raters. Look at Hugo Paez, Ken Thalheimer and you Elena and Vitaly. Don't look at the 1/1 rating and don't look at the 7/7 as well. look at the serious critiques you get and what people comment on your work. We can never all like one persons work. Not even everybody likes Rembrand or van Gogh. So don't get disturbed by the amateurs here or the SPAMS/BOTS and just go on with your wondefull/special/creative work!

Thanks for your attention. I, not when did not look at a rating and estimations. But here absolutely an another matter. There are such people here on a site, that constantly comes and put to me 1-1 and 2-2, and I understand it as wrecking. It is difficult for me to write about themselves, but I am sure precisely, that I not not 䮱� to have one shot 1-1 *** But let these to people it becomes easier than that they to me underestimate a rating. But they cannot know, that it is not enough of them. Thanks. Greetings. Elena

excellent porfolio,you shoots have strength and you composition are some "black" but is very excellente porfolio, thank for sharing and best regards from spain (7/7)

I loved your works in B&W, I loved as you use the curves and womens shape. Art reaches people of different forms, that?s the intention!!!

Ochen' krasivo, stil'no, krasochno, vyrazitel'no, prosto i ponyatno. I love your work.

AWESOME!!!!!!!! 7/7 all the way!!

Wow! Powerful and very dark photography... I love it! Keep up the good work!

impresive portfolio, great control of portraits, congrats

... good work... very evocative... very "kunderaian". bye gianni ansaldi www.ansaldi.it

It appears that some people are affraid of the dark. I kind of like the dark and sinister tone that so much of your work has. It gives it character. Although, I must say, there's something about bondage that turns me off, but that's probably a personal hangup of my own. Keep your style going. It stands out among the crowd.

Also, Not sure what Vadim Onishchenko is referring to when he warns us of clones, as most (or all) of the links he's provided lead us nowhere. Seems rather pointless.

great portfolio

I love your pictures, you have great talent for portraits, very interesting style, congrats, best regards

Forget the ratings look at your work and the attention to detail. Anyone can pick up a camera and click the shutter. But it takes imagination and execution of that imagination and time. I think you work is fantastic in so many ways. Bravo

I really like your photos. You are very original.

Great images! Thanks!

amazing. I wish i had your tallent.

Amazing pictures, great stuff. I really appreciate your portfolio. Hope you continue.

Mysterious, dramatic & compelling. Good work.

This is one of the most amazing portfolio of nudes I've ever seen. Incredible work, I really enjoy wathing your photos. I have immideatly bookmarked your portoflio, so I can check it regulary.

Very strong portfolio.Congrat...

Dear Elena and Vitaly, Thanky for sharing your images on PN. Don't let yourself be discurraged by some small minds who abuse the rating system in order to express their concept of moral. Your portfolio shows the handwriting of experianced craftsmenship as well as of a creative mind. I'm looking forward to your work to come.

Kind regards

Zack

Yes you are right on all of 100 %. Thank you for attention. Greetings. Elena

I like your Photo .

Prikrastnoia robota! Mnogomu mojdno nauchitsa.

As an actress, for me your photos captured moments of real emtions--vulnerability, fear, desire, etc They are works of a true artist. If you are ever in LA, I know several people whom would be honored to model for you, including me. Do you accept requests?

It is glad to yours attention and to the offer. But America very far from my country. And while at me does not enter into my plans, there to come. But certainly I very much wanted to work with you. My greetings. Elena

Beautiful, well rendered work. It's all been said above. Fabulous portfolio. Thanks for sharing your vision with us all. Cheers, Raymond

good, too good!!!, There is a kind apporach in every photography of yours.

I have persued many forms of artistic expression throughout the years, both in the creation myself, and the viewing of others works. But with yours, I will openly admit that this is the first time in the entire span of my life that artwork has been so inexplicably beautiful that it has brought me to tears - that something so lovely could be composed in a viewable form, and yet be the perfect capture of raw emotion. Please never stop following your calling, the world needs breathtaking inspiration such as this, it makes everything else worthwhile.

I thank you for your attention and warm words. If you have desire, come with me in contact, through mine e-mail Greetings. Elena

Most of your images "smell" like pornography - very cheap one. There are some seldom exceptions, though.

To me not interestingly your opinion...... And if you do not like my pictures--------DO NOT LOOK THEM))))))) I Wish you good luck..... The expert on art)))

The same to you, dear. :)

Sorry if the title sounds too erotic, but, as a man, when I see those zebra girls (:-)) they, euhm, touch me... I love the portfolio very much, most of all the photos of the 'sirens' @ the waterfront. I found a link on the oskarlewis.com weblog. Thanks for the inspiration!!!xxx

Great photography, especially the ones with good fanny shots. Gorgeous models, and really well maintained personal foliage too! Really like the "Ordinary Life" one where the subject is framed in the foreground model's silky smooth pussy flaps. I'm now a massive fan of art!

hola Elena very good and interesting work and you are soo sexy.

Kisses

Eduardo

Fantastic portfolio! I will return often. Compliments.

Your work really inspires me to get out and shoot more. I love the subject matter and vision. The depth, and well pretty much everything. The zebra shots are creative as well.

Along the Wall

Return to a totalitarian Soviet mode!!! Today, on July, 29th, 2009 under the order of highest authorities of art media Vitaly Vasilieva and Evgenie Matveeva's project "Along a wall" in Art gallery «Art arsenal» IS CLOSED!!!!!!!! Ask all democratic public and mass media to support.

Art-Media Project Along the Wall The idea and project realization in association Elena/Vitaliy Vasilievy and Eugeniy Matveyev

The project is strict, clear, laconic and provocative. An oddity became the basis of the project. Human strangeness as a component of the Universe. Homo sapiens can not live without obstructiveness. This is a cosmic necessity, which forces to overcome these obstacles selflessly. The wall (obstacle) built with titanic efforts is broken through with own forehead in direct and figurative meaning. Obstacles are erected on own and not own initiative. In the second case the obstacles have been built long time ago and securely. They are based on the mass of prejudices, false postulates, and pseudo-scholarly approach of lying prophets, adventurers and rascals. The more closely to our time, the more securely such actions are fastened with tough state structures and religious prejudices – the concrete, which needs the decades and even centuries of collective efforts to be destroyed. First of all, any wall blocks the way to freedom – freedom of thought, freedom of self-expression, freedom of self-realization, decision-making freedom without depending upon people opinion. At the same time the thesis of Spinoza – «Freedom is the realized necessity» –arouses in the brain a diversified set of questions which are not so easy to be answered. The project «Along the Wall» is just about it. Freedom a priori can not be based on violence and humiliation of someone similar to oneself, on indifference to pain and sufferings of people around, on satisfaction of ravenous wishes. At the same time the existent pseudo-moral laws and pseudo- ethics norms are those walls, that obstacle, which breaks a spiritual development of the humanity. These laws and norms, covered with mould of centuries, never truly worked, because in fact, they were dead. Examples are simple, convincing and laconic. Ancient Israelite and the Roman empire, elimination of Inca and American Indians, Inquisitions or imperialistic wars, Nazi Germany or communist genocide of the USSR, modern Iraq and Afghanistan. Millions of killed. Millions of disabled fates. And that is not all. Long time ago laws and norms turned into the original religious game, in international fanatic act of terrorism, which in the final analysis generate fear, disbelief, indifference and disappointment. At the present time, in a very crisis world, contradictions and conflicts are shown up more obviously, the gap between poverty and wealth is increasing more and more, egoism does not know the limits. There are all reasons to suppose that the humanity is already on the threshold of the next ruinous war in which no one knows who will win and whether there will be winners in general. The art-project «Along the Wall» consists of 10 compositions (1, 5 x 3 m each) and one video-art. All compositions and video-art do not have the names intentionally and are marked with numbers. «Uncovering 1», «Uncovering 2», «Uncovering 3» etc. «Uncovering» is associated with the paradise and hell simultaneously. It is the original strained nerve on which 11 nerve centers are located and each of them is responsible for a certain world problem. A spectator is invited into the coauthor of the project and is responsible for the exarticulation of his/her own problem, hidden grounds and author’s reflections are in help for him here. These are not strict compositions in the spirit of the German academic manner and neither nudist nor erotic motives are taken off with the hidden photo camera. This is the key to understand an own and someone else’s problem. Let every spectator, at least mentally, to stand in front of the mirror, preferably against the background of the wall, along which he sneaks through the life. It is a lazy person, who is not remembering Freud nowadays. The project “Along the Wall” has nothing in common with psycho-analysis. A spectator will have something to think about, if he wants to look into his hidden desires and reasons of the variety of his own actions, without help of the doctor, medium or artist. All compositions are planned and carried out as complete mirrors with a lot of aesthetic, ethics and philosophical implications. Probably, a spectator will manage to single out certain tendencies, artistic and composition principles, moral and ethics norms. Probably. But that is not the point. In the long run the life depends only upon that, how everyone lives it through. Authors expect to give to the environment that energy of behind the mirror, which led them from one nerve centre to another while project’s realization. It is not a dogma. The experimental is not completed. These centers and nervous strings appeared to have no ends at all. Sincerely Yours. Creators.

Ukraine, Kiev, 19 May 2009 ]

“Along the wall”

A wall. Along the wall, around, in the middle of it or however there is spying from the height of bird’s flying. And eventually what the meaning it has? But provided to be it has. Our and your lives, our and their feelings, dreams, hopes, despair, love, joy, sorrow, philosophy, psychology, parapsychology, psycho-analysis, diagnosis could be the wall. From bricks folded the wall. The wall can be real and imaginary, perceptible by touch and taste or hidden in labyrinth of subconsciousness, that there is no hope for understanding, even not speaking about the truth discovering. It appears that the Truth is not the one, as it is written in a school textbook. Strangely, but there are neither two no even more truths. How many people on the planet - so many truths. And everybody has own truth. And what we are talking about after the listening of 90 seconds shocking video of preamble to the articles of domestic constitution in execution of naked woman? Come to mind all the last contemporary gatherings. I didn’t hear about such things in Venice, didn’t see in Geneva and didn’t read about something analogical on Document or the Manifest. So there was not the same thing! It appears that this is the modern artistic product is executed by three artists - by the married couple of Vasil'evyh and Matveevym. The thing is obviously meaningful, because it is not contained in usual measuring of artistic values. The authenticity of multimedia, super-modern, grotesque composition which is offered for contemplation and consumption on nine enormous (1,5 x 3 m) black-and-white photos strikes with dimensions at first, then by art and at last by the energy field which pulls in a spectator and turns him into a coauthor. At first it appeared that artists obviously had applied provocative, totalitarian method of large crowd. So were done before in a fine art, especially in architecture of the totalitarian states. The states died a long ago, but the art is remained. There is nothing to argue whether the creativity of Leni Riefenstahl, Dovzhenko, Brekkera, Torakka or Fomina were genius or not. We all got from critics on the certain stages of own and somebody else’s fine art studying. There are no critics already, decayed, but works are there. Genius patterns of real history. And when someone burned in a tank or airplane, or gave the young life on the eventual border of the Second World War, saturated with bravura marches, encouraged by films and enormous forms of modern buildings which were raised of ruined sacred places, don’t judge the artists who created that art. Look into the artist soul. Creators are not guilty that see the future. Advice is simple. It is needed to listen and look carefully. The mental field of modern man does not depend on religion, country, where a man lives, or party affiliation. It seems strange, but all around is hidden under thick layer of strong power streams. This mad energy has ubiquitous character. The power character. The way of energy is impossible to see or hear. Not to hide from it. It is a substance which is impossible to sell, to purchase, to scare or ignore. The action of energy to my surprise is laconic. It is not measured by the ordinary scale of values. It is a dogma and necessity. The artist as a surgeon. The difference is that doctor’s work is obvious, and a result is predictable. The result can be positive or negative, but for us – those who investigates contemporary, it has no sense. A fact is fixed. And indeed there is nothing personal. In fact the artist is a bearer of possibility of diagnosis making in public, and sometimes a doctor. His instrument and medications is image. As in the case of surgeon, image can be successful or unsuccessful. Difference is that that unlike a doctor in a traditional white surgical coat, where it is a method of calming and deception of patient, the artist provokes reflections. The way of reflection is unforeseeable. The artist can not help to swallow a pill, he can prompt the way for understanding of represented. Subconsciousness of every spectator – consumer of artistic product - is deeply individual. All other arguments are hopeless.

Works presented in a project are not integrated in cycles. Absence of cycle’s system of represented is the hidden code to understanding. Certainly, in spite of all attempts to be out of the policy of the difficult state, the project «Along the wall» is outlined as deeply patriotic and absolutely social. In numeral compositions created from naked people – characters, erotica is fully absent. This is the first whimsical warning and first conflict. Why so many beautiful bodies, located in enough sexual poses do not cause adequate to primary instinct senses. And vice-versa. The fight of nudes is not perceived as brutal, but exceptionally, as a theatrical stage. Expensive Bentley – the attribute of top of riches stands in a queue with other insignificant second-rate characters. And it appears that homosexual dance of man with another man, woman with a woman becomes only the instrument for perception of dressed dancing people on the background. Chaste girls with a doll in a hand look not at the man’s genitals, but at the thrown up woman. The frightful logic comes into sight. You know, king is really naked. It’s provided to be that if everything is permitted, there is no place for a crime. And completely incomprehensible is a reaction on the races of pairs, where the naked goes on naked. Attention is not concentrated on people, but on the walls of unfinished factory. And the question is not what game adults play, but why they still have not build the factory. Acceptable limit of white and black in perception underlines the belonging of authors - Matveev - professional Ukrainian artist, whose creation overcame all artistic domestic Olympus and modern photographers of the married couple of Vasil'evyh. Despite of total dislike of modern picture to monochrome measuring, the creative trio chooses exactly black-and-white option. It is a home purveyance. In fact, exactly black and white, world and abyss, gladness and sorrow, true and lie create the desired effect of tragedy in the project “Along the wall”. Tragic is always actual. The task of creators is brilliantly executed. The questions by what facilities to reproduce tragic feeling in an art, to deny the denial of life, how to show engrossing unbearable pain and consequently to be able to win in dishonest, unfair, lying and corrupt society, to win in the world of spirituality is the purpose of the project. And suddenly understand. The task is put and executed. Direct look to a life, which includes deep philosophical reflections, built on the skillfully promulgated notes, sketches, in the receipt of the exactly those impressions which completed the world of the kaleidoscopic phenomena. That is why the project should be seen only together. It is impossible to tear up from a context some successful one, two or even three works. Every next composition continues previous and begins the following. A circle does not finish, but allow to spectator to go out into the next trip. The circle is endless as a life. There are no advices at all. The artists did not want to help someone. The desire is different. It is transparent and clear. It is provocation, game with the mental field of spectator. Till the end there is one request. Think and understand. Give a mark by yourself. Do not watch in neighbour’s notebook. There can be an error. Any own estimation will be correct. The artists deny nothing, they just offer. And category «like» or «dislike» is not the study of art. In the real life there is not enough the study of art. But probably it is not needed in the conditions of global crisis. The artists did not feed you with fish soup. They showed the way. Whether will you go? Do not know. Business is voluntary.

Interview apropos closing of an exhibition by the authorities of Ukraine

A spectacular and very moving portfolio.

A very strong, stylised, creative portfolio , thank you for displaying your work. Best Regards

Such an inventive display of the female form. Endless variations. Just a little reminiscent of Jan Saudek, but different too and has more grace than I could even imagine. My father was born in Ukraine (Zhitomir). Maybe that is why I am drawn to your images. Nicely done and daringly bold...aloha from Hawaii, gerry

i LOOOOVE your portfolio. amazing *body* of work, so to speak. much respect and appreciation.
