Good spot, Fifth King.

"nudity... on the street in broad daylight" - If I were a pedestrian in Kiev, I should ensure to be carrying a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with me at all times.

King, these 2 black and whites are wonderful. Thanks. I particularly like the one with the little boy about to 'make love' to his ice cream cone totally unaware of the half naked goddess behind him. If he sees this photo in another 10 to 12 years he is going to kill himself. Very creative shot.

It appears these were shot on Andrew's Descent (Андріївський узвіз).

Thanks DJ, for the historical perspective. It's good to read that the classic stone street is being restored. I hope they save the beautiful baroque buildings as well. It looks like a charming part of the city.

At a solemn lockout exhibition was presented a new work series - "Kievlyanochka" - which until then kept secret.

Among those present leader Sergei Elk (Comedy Club), played albums of photos Ruslan Lobanov, with works that will be included in the upcoming exhibition of photographs in Prague. We spent the evening in a relaxed atmosphere of secular than visual pleasure derived from photos Ruslan Lobanov, guests enjoyed refreshments on the tradition of the restaurant "Caviar". In his works Ruslan Lobanov actively explores the nature of female sexuality and relationship feelings, and the surrounding area. Tatiana Pavluk-Afanasyev, director of the restaurant "Caviar" has shared her impressions about the photo exhibition: "Caviar" is always pleased to offer our guests something new. At this time we decided to indulge their aesthetic perception, because we are promoting the pleasure of every moment of life. Portfolio Ruslana is the best support in the mood, which creates a combination of oysters and champagne. We are very pleased with this collaboration and, in turn, promise to guests that this is not the last art project in the restaurant "Caviar"

More photo's from the event (Jenya looking beautiful, as ever):



The guy in the blue hoodie (who she poses with in the photograph) seems to be some kind of musician from what I can tell.

You're correct DJ. That middle photo, bare breasted in the  black dress with the shoulder pads and the huge hairdo may be the worst image I have ever seen of her. She looks like Elsa Lanchester in the black and white Bride of Frankenstein movie from the 1930s. I hope that's the image they were trying to dupicate. I much prefer the photo with the young boy, the icecreams and the bicycle. There was a lot going on in that photo. It was tender, hot and sweet all at once.

Interesting....Apparently she didn't like that middle photo herself at all.

Find out more on http://photographers.com.ua/pictures/show/cyber_girl_playboy_372315/

She felt she was "mutilated" by Lobanov ("уродовал"/"изуродовал")

Btw, to be honest, I kind of agree with Klodi's criticism on the Playboy picture shown..."неожиданно плохо"- not as good as her usual stuff; surprisingly bad.

If we knew the answer to that, then the photoshoot would be posted in this thread.

A set doesn't exist, only 6 pictures. According to a very well-informed source.

A new picture by Mr. Lobanov. The girl on the left looks like our Goddess.

For russian speakers: is that real Jenya in comments?
Честно говоря она мне не понравилась, слишком надменная и невежливая. Иногда лучше не знать "артиста" за сценой, хоть в музыке, хоть в кино, хоть в эротике. Он может оказаться тем еще мудаком.

Sure it's her. Else this person must be a clever imitator, that fooled not only me, but also her photographer, Dima Baranov.

Thread was deleted, but I have saved a copy: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BMQXTH7V

Some intriguing comments she made there. From what I understood, she equates success with commercial sales. It'll be interesting to see which direction that takes her in in the future...

Also, she was very candid about being masturbated to. Surprised to hear her say that that will be her legacy in one hundred years however.

Thanks a lot, very clever of you to save a copy of the page before the picture was removed (by the Photographers administrator, or maybe by Mr. Baranov?)

I had a bit of a problem with the page on IE. I got an ActiveX warning, I replied: please allow, but still the pictures weren't shown. Any idea how to get round it? Btw, it's not a problem, since I then tried Firefox and the page + pictures showed up immediately.

I noticed that your copy was not completely up-to-date. Because I remember the last time that I looked at it, my score had gone up to +2! Also you missed the final comment, which sums up the general feeling:

Пользователь Shakti (http://photographers.com.ua/profile/shakti/) добавил новый комментарий к фотографии 'Cyber Girl':

Комментарии радуют) Женя, ну неужели вы считаете, что это фото удачное и является поводом для гордости? Искренне советую вам быть проще в своих высказываниях, будете и дальше оскорблять всех на лево и на право скоро останется очень мало фотографов желающих работать со столь "взрывоопасной" личностью. Красивых девушек в Украине предостаточно, а тех которые думают прежде чем что-то написать или сказать еще больше.

С уважением,

Команда photographers.com.ua

Eh, she has the Law of Attraction on her side, so that couldn't possibly happen.

"I got an ActiveX warning, I replied: please allow, but still the pictures weren't shown."

Try (re-)installing flash in IE and see if it reoccurs.

She is pretty rude and opinionated, it was unpleasant to read her comments. She also said that Lobanov (you can see his b/w photos on this topic) made awful photos of her. Personally I like his photos a lot more than Baranov's for Playboy. Playboy is very popular obviously, but that doesn't mean I like it just because of that, I think these Cybergirl sets are pretty lame.
Confident people wouldn't allow themselves to bark at other people and try to insult them. She acted like a typical arrogant star.

Well, at least one person here doesn't desire her to be unbearably sweet like an anodyne Disney movie.
