A passage to love
I shall die in a rainy day,
in the arms of a loved one
and the last words I shall hear
Would be "forever, I shall love thee"
and the last drop of water I shall drink
should be a tear of sadness, from an eye looking down to me
And the last hope I should think of
should be a forgiveness from the lord of amour
and the cause of my death should be
an explosion of love at the bottom of my soul
And I shall smile to angel of death, because
the fear of him, had been died at my heart
a century before I was born
and I shall be strong as a god
because, all that would be waiting for me, at the end of night
should be a passage...to love.
Misha

Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us.

Travis Vowell , December 28, 2004; 04:46 A.M.
You know... I through the word "amazing" around alot here on PN. But these photos are truelly amazing. Really, no other portfolios are this good. When I first took a look at these shots my tought were. "This stuff is the shite" and I'm not big on swearing. It just blew me away. This is exactly the style I'd like to be shooting. I cant express how insparational these images are. This is how I want to shoot when I'm older and have gone pro. Thank you for sharing these pictures with me.
David Richman

I go to photo.net to find new ideas for my portrait sessions. It's not often that I find inspiration-Misha, you have inspired me. I love your use of dramatic angles when shooting your models.

What to say what to add... You have many many advantages or superiorities upon us ;) you don't care about rules of cropping and thirds and whathever, you have an eye that isn't real! and you have I don't know what that makes women feel confortable in any situation with you. (maybe you can get invisible!! I just thought of that :) So thank you for sharing! very much! And I'll keep up checking you work with great great interest and passion, trying to do the best myself in my own style and maybe threw my dreams in yours.
Bravo again for all your pictures, I won't rate them all because my "favorite" folder would become immediatly a "Misha" folder, and thanks again!

Superb portfolio, Misha! Nice to run into a photographer who is also a writer. (I'm an essayist and short story writer.) Lewis Carol, Zola, Eudora Welty, Wright Morris, among other writers, were also photographers. Welty based much of her fiction on photos she took. Walker Evans, on the other hand, was a failed writer who turned to photography.
You really have a way of working with women. There is an energy in your fashion shots and nude studies that is rare.
Thank you for your input on my work. I am honored
Jody Frost

Just looked at your latest, read your bio... Wow! Your photos continue to delight and surprise me! You have a talent and passion that jumps out of the pictures! Positively electric! And your poems really capture me too (and i'm not a big lover of the art form!) Bravo Misha!

"It's..."
It's tasteful...
Like sharing a cherry in spring rain with the lips of your lover
On door steps of a strange house
In a strange neighborhood
It's sad...
Like washing the cold hand of your grandfather with tears,
Only 12 years old, alone in a cold house,
Just a minute after his death, on cloudy afternoon of fall
It's hot...
Like moving lava, freed after a million years of trying
Running down the hill towards the ocean, passing the ocean
To make a new land, a new home
It's beautiful...
Like finding a view to a landscape by accident because you have lost your way
A scenery of green field in mist
Full of pink flamingos right by the greatest lake of the world
It's amazing...
Like the first simultaneous orgasms of two passionate teenagers
Making love in a basement of an old house
While the sun is creating a moving collage of shadows on the walls
It's cold...
Like the morning following a night full of nightmares,
Waking up to a field of dead soldiers, covered with blood
Finding out that the truth was harsher than a bad dream
It's Romantic...
Like the first time you climbed the Eiffel tower
With a beautiful French girl; a stranger;
Who was exchanging kisses with you, before even you were back on the ground
It's holy...
Like the first time you tried to talk to god
And you actually thought
That you could change the world with your wishes, with your prayers
It's angry...
Like losing your love to a sudden death
And trying so hard
To find reasons for not joining her, right then, through a short cut
It's exciting...
Like the feeling of rushed decisions,
Attacking your mind,
While you are facing your first gun point robbery
It's adventurous...
Like the first bite of a camel meat kebob
At the border of Oman and Saudi Arabia
Listening to a symphony of desert storm
And it's full of hopes...
Hope to fall in love, to be in love again one day
To bring a smile to somebody's lips everyday
And trying to add a small piece of happiness to this world
Before your time's up, before the cycle is done
Because it's your life...
Because it's my life...
Stefano Perez Tonella , February 16, 2005; 05:50 P.M.

Great Misha
I can feel something special looking your portfolios. There are movement, creative ideas, interesting angles, nice medium tones in B&W job and I like the special eye, your eye when you looks each element, girl, people or form that we can see.
Just a suggest, I feel some sadnees in general, perharps something is not complete about your Job, I don`t know exactly what can be but I feel it.
I mean, all your photos have a perefect light and form, each one give me a message but I feel some sadnees arround the light and shadows.
Sorry for my point of view is just that Claroscuros touch me very hard.

Giuseppe Miriello , March 26, 2005; 08:45 P.M.
Misha,
i wandered through your portfolio, and it took me a good time just to preview the thumbs... I really loved many of your images, expecially a couple you probably did for vogue (looking at the approach). I cannot tell that i loved more or less a specific area of your work, becouse it is massive and of high quality, and very varied. Instead, to comment what you are presenting here i will leave you a small passage from a book i loved (and that i am trying to translate into images - hoping to be able).... it is an imaginary conversation between kublai kan and marco polo:
"Marco Polo describes a bridge stone by stone. Which is the stone that keep the bridge from falling ask Kublai Kan? The bridge is not kept from this or that stone, but rather by the arc they make. Kublai Kan wonder about this a little, then asks: - why did you tell me about the stones! It is the arc that matters to me! And Marco Polor replies: Without stones there is no arc."
the same way there is no possibility to me to define your work image per image, it is the whole (composed by all its parts) that defines itself. Congrats. and hoping to see more. Regards. G.
Felipe Rodríguez , April 03, 2005; 06:24 P.M.

You are obviously a very matured photog. It's written all over. Very strong, ambience-full shots, strong contrasts in tones, colors and contents. Quite obviously there is influence from Helmut N. A bit surreal style well within good taste. The idividual portfolios are so (too) big that it takes (too much) time to load them.
Michael Murphy

I love your style. You work really well with women. I am just graduated from photography school. I was wondering what you shoot with, camera, film, or settings if digital. I love the "sepia tone" and the grainy feel. It looks really good. Brings a lot to the images I think. alex@aikphotography.com thanks

Reading the comments on your portfolio I feel I little bit frustrated because it seems that all the best words are already used! So, what should I say? Your photos are truly amazing! You have a strong inclination to experimentation which is what creativity means, IMO. Keep up the good work and let us enjoy it!
Best,

Martin Karlsson , December 15, 2005; 04:19 A.M.
some out of the ordinary
M.H, I've now browsed through your photos, and I must say that they are really something. I think it's how you get the models to relax and follow your instructions, as well as that you know how to deal with the natural light, and on top of that, we have the backgrounds, locations..makes a perfect blend.
If I ever feel I need some inspiration, I know where to look!
Thanks
Jay Davis , December 16, 2005; 10:00 A.M.
Wow
I have seen a LOT of photographer's work in my time, but nothing even compares to the work you have in this portfolio. I am simply blown away by your work, it is so incredible.
If you don't mind me asking one question in order to learn something from you, I would like to ask how do you get the indoor shots so well lit? I don't see any lighting kits or flash units used or am I wrong?
Just truly an incredible work of art. I would love to watch you work someday. Best of luck to you!

Namaste
Misha, I can see and feel God in your work, it's always so easy to pick up when someone allows the Intelligence to flow through them. Anyway, your portfolio is so inspiring and touches the viewer so intensly, that I think you also believe that "feeling" is what authentic life is about.
Oh, and your poems - awesome. All manifestation was seeded from thought. So keep on thinking, it makes the world a place of "feeling"
Namaste...
