My name is Anton Oparin and I’ve been photographer from the age of 14 when I’d start my self-study of black/white film photography. It was not professional job, just a hobby (Amateur Photographer), but that experience was very important for me and definitely counted!
I was developing my taste, imagination and first technical skills…
Back in 1984 I’d register my first photo cooperative (self-employee Company), I paid state dues and get license to shoot people at public places or my own studio as PROFESSIONAL photographer. I’d start making “street style” photos of people in St. Petersburg, Russia and print large size portraits (which sells for approx. 10 rubles/each which was about $4, Note: average monthly salary that time was from 60-120 rubles only, so my prices was not cheap at all, but I was requested an artist back in 90s)
SIMPLE RULE: When you start getting financial compensation for your work – you’ll become Professional! If you shoot nice FREE photos for yourself of friends during off- time from your main job – you still just Amateur Photographer!
…I came from Russia to United States in December 1995 and work FULL time commercial photo studios and printing companies (ACM Photo, NE Photo, and Precise digital) from 1996-2001. I shot thousands of Actors Headshots, model portfolios, creative portraits, learn how to do fast hair and make-up styling, drum and flatbed photo scanning, image manipulation/retouching in Photoshop 3.1, Creating layouts in Quark express and print Model Composite cards for leading NYC model agencies using laser printers on card stock paper.
All these years from 1992-present time I was working as “Full Time Photographer” making my LIVING from photography (and video) projects. I was consistently shooting FASHION, Models and Designer’s shows Runway/Backstage in NY-London-Milan-Paris-Moscow-Miami-LA.
According counted shutter(s) acquisitions of all my digital cameras I’ve own or rent, number of cases with slides and negatives at my archives – I’m personally shoot over 2 Million of mages from year 1992!
I was lucky enough to learn from the bests photographers in the Fashion Industry and personally meet/shoot many famous supermodels you can see only in glossy magazines, ad campaigns or movies (Linda Evangelista, Amber Valetta, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Alek Wek, Trish Goff, Nikki Taylor, Helena Kristensen, Nadja Auermann, Chandra North, Yasmeen Ghauri, and many more …
Many designers I’d shot backstage or Interview on Video already made a HISTORY and passed out, but it was Unforgettable experience for me! (Gianni Versace, GF Ferre, Alexander Mc Queen, Oscar De La Renta…)
I can call myself “Established Photographer” – My work was published at more than 30 International magazines and few books about fashion. Vogue, Collezioni, Grazia, FEM, InStyle, US Weekly, Audrey, Hair+, DNR, Popular Photography, InReview and many more…)
Over 110 fashion designers/clients in US and abroad at my client list now. *List available upon request.
“Award Winning Photographer” title also could be used to describe my photography qualifications. I did participate at more than 30 different Photo contests, won or was finalist at such prestigious competitions as “World Press Photo” and “The Great Photo Contest” by Popular Photography magazine in category Fashion/Glamour.
Many people of my profession ready to talk hours and hours about their carrier as an Artist (or about Personal Life – which is the same for them), but I rather leave this autobiographical essay UNFINISHED…
Why? Because I’m looking forward to see you at our workshops, masterclasses, discussions, and I would like to SHARE my knowledge to the younger generation of photographers of 21st century!See Ya!
Truly yours,
Anton Oparin
