Ballerina and the City

Yerevan is an old and a beautiful city. A photographer's paradise! Everything here says: old. Translate that to photographer's terminology and that means: photogenic!
Alla is a professional ballet dancer and a gorgeous model who was such a pleasure to work with!

And a little bit of a vintage feel in the images below!

Like both images in color and in black and white.. cant decide which one, so Im posting both here:

These beautiful murals are paintied by children from an orphanage- this is how we were told by the locals- they also told us that the wall would be completed sometimes in September 2011, as only one half of it was painted then. I suppose by the time of my next visit to Yerevan there will be more of this amazing art.

I particularly like this image- it's kind of flirty and fun! She is walking down the streets of red brick churches and mini trees and singing dreamy birds- doesn't it really feel like a fairytale?

This image wasn't in our plans but somehow my model was wearing this gorgeous hat and I happened to have the mini Eiffel tower {Paris- is a totally different story that has such a big place in my heart}

And from this vantage point you can see the panorama of Yerevan with the Biblical Mount Ararat on the background.
