I do not recommend Alexei, he is rude and unprofessional. My sister and I made an appointment with him to discuss a joint photo shoot and he told us that our bodies are too urban and he would not take pictures of us. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous. Over the phone I made him aware that we were not professional models and he said that was fine. We got there and he looked at us as if we disgusted him. I am 140 pounds and my sister 130 granted we are not a size two but we are not huge. He uses urban women and men on his website, then turns a photo shoot down for two beautiful black women. If he only takes photos of a certain type of person he should say that on his website or over the phone. I spent 3 hours in traffic to get to his studio, I was upset and felt disrespected. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought photographers were not supposed to be prejudice. I have never in my life encountered a person so rude. I absolutely do not recommend Alexei production
