Dear Avi,

R.E: Your photography is of the highest standard I have ever seen.

Having finished reading the Seductive Art article in the latest Digital Photography magazine, I had to peruse your website for more! Your images are flawless, the lighting, expression and composition is precise. I definately agree photography is something you are born with. I have studied and been a professional photographer for 5 years so am constantly looking at new images from overseas etc for inspiration unyet no ones work compares to yours. I recently brought the FIB magazine on Masters of Photography, unyet each image has some small flaw. Your images as I said are flawless and my compliment is that you inspire not only your clients but other fellow professional photographers. Thank you for your article and advice in the article, websites to check out etc.

Best wishes for your continuing success.

Regards,

I want to thank you for the unbelievable quality of your art.
Everything exceeded our expectations. Everyone who has seen the work
has been amazed. I think you will end up with clients from Arizona as
several friends have expressed interest in traveling to Sydney to work
with you. Stella & I have 2 homes and we may be purchasing
a couple of additional large and/or medium reprints to display.
We will order these from you once we get it sorted out.

I know that photographic art is the property of the artist. Stella & I
totally respect that and will have you make any of the additional large
copies we want. My mom has asked for a 5" x 7" or 8" x 10" for the
shelf where she keeps family pictures, my sister has also made the same
request. I would like wallet print of one of the pictures. When I
asked about this, you told me to take photographs of the art and handle
it myself. I do not want to do anything wrong and need your permission
to do this. So, please let me know if this is acceptable.

On another note, we know several people in Arizona who would like to
work with you. Have you ever considered traveling to the US to do photo
shoots. I have a good relationship with a studit / gallery in Flagstaff
that has a perfect setup and I think they would be glad to host. Stella
& I could easily refer 2-4 (or more) clients. We could have some of our
art set up to display at the studio. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Stella & Wes

Dear Avi,

We would just like to thank you for our experience on sunday morning. We were a little (a lot) apprehensive before we came but you and Caroline reduced those concerns.
You approach and care, particularly of my aging knees, made the whole experience a pleasure. We did not feel at all embarrassed or self conscious and thought the whole experience was a one of the highlights of relationship. You photography fulfilled our desire of the images giving the feeling of us merging or melting together and the lone image of Leila is sensational. We cannot wait to see the final images and I suggested to Leila that there were another image we could think about , I think no 71,( when do you delete them?), but I was told to limit my enthusiasm. I also like my framing of Leila in our purchased image, so personal training works as Leila has tender muscles today and I don't.

Thanks once again,
Enjoy your holiday.

Hi Avi,

I’m an aspiring photographer in the early stages of my career and the late stages of my life.
In my search for inspiration I search out other photographers and look at what they do. Occasionally I am impressed by their skills and creativity. In a fleeting moment I am inspired by what I see. I walked into your studio last week and was inspired. Thank you for that.
Don’t get me wrong; I don’t want to take photographs like yours. My interests are in other areas. But what I see in your images is a combination of technique, skill, creativity, design and presentation that inspires me to work harder at photographing the way I want to. I am at the beginning of my very late career. Before it’s too late I would like to have the opportunity to share my world with others as you do. Photography is such an accessible medium. Good photography requires hard work and a lot of knowledge and skill. Exceptional photographs such as yours requires the photographer to give a bit of himself to every image; they ‘bleed’ just a little for their craft.
I am yet to learn how to do that. Thank you for helping me find the way.

Tom Dinning

02 February 2010

Thanks so much for such lovely images - I'm thrilled. I'll get them framed as soon as I can get up to Newcastle where I get my artwork framed. My daughters can't get over them!

Avi,

First off, we were in such a rush to get to the airport after our shoot that we did not have time to properly thank you. Your photography is absolutely amazing. We felt comfortable and sexy and loved every shot - (even before editing!) Cody and I both agreed that working with you was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Australia. Can't wait to see the finals! :)
Thanks Again,

Avi and team:

I'm now back in the states (in the -5 weather) from my Australian holiday, and Kurt and I have been fondly recapping our various adventures, with the day at your studio being a huge highlight! We wanted to again thank you for such an all around wonderful experience. Unwittingly, little comments both of you made at times through the session affirmed us in this relatively new relationship of ours. The afternoon in the studio is just one more of those little fibers that are weaving together, forming the foundation of our life together. Exciting and reassuring for us! Thank you for that!

Another topic we struck upon was trying to find that 'other pose' we were trying to explain to you, and tonight managed to run back across it. We have NO regrets about not being able to remember exactly how that one fit together, as we are truly in awe of the shots we ended up selecting.

We've also realized that our plans have Kurt coming to the states maybe sooner than we thought, so if we could change the shipping destination for the prints, that would be great!

Again, many thanks for a spectacular experience! We can't wait to see the final art!

I arrived safe in Germany, Berlin. Just to let you know: I´m sitting in
front of my pictures and I love them... How can somebody be as beautiful as
me??? lol... Everybody said that beautiful is actually an understatement for
these photographies, they are amazing, I look amazing... So apparently we
three did a great job, espacially you Avi! So thanks again, for
everything... for giving me such a great time, such a great body feeling,
confident feeling, such a great memory and special souvenir of the best time
in my life... a time which was just about me. I miss that.

I miss all my friends, my love, my life, my sunshine, my Sydney...

Anyway, I wish you guys a lovely christmas time and a happy new year, may

The photos arrived safely. They look fantastic. Its hard to believe it's Jane & I. Now we need to get them framed. My cousin is a master photographer & he has advised me the best photographic framer in Perth to use. When they are done I will let you know.
Have a wonderful Christmas & a fantastic New Year.

Greetings,

A few years ago, my wife and I were on a trip to Australia and as we wander around The Rocks we discovered your store front. After listening to the sales person describe your services, we were intrigued but decided to pass. We have regretted that decision since. Unfortunately we live in the United States and are not likely to make it back to Australia anytime soon. I have searched a few times for similar services in the States but can not find anything with your unique blend of options.

There seem to be several agencies that provide boudoir photography for women but not for couples. I don't believe I have found any that offer the photoshop touch-ups your studio provided.

The reason I am writing is to inquire if you are familiar with any studios that provide similar services in the States? As much as we would like to fly back to Australia to have your studio do the work, that probably isn't going to happen.

Thanks,
Brad H

Dear Avi,

We are finding it hard to take our eyes off your masterpieces! I’m going to find it especially difficult to be without them so they can be framed.

I cannot think of a better experience i have had than our photoshoot day and the special treatment we received from you and your staff. Absolutely professional, comforting, reassuring and FUN!!! Then to top it off seeing what you had created, WOW!

Your photos have captured all our hard training leading up to our monumental photoshoot day and for that i can’t thank you enough.
We couldn’t be more thrilled and truly astounded by your incredible work.

Thank you so much Avi.

My journey with Avi started when I required an updated portfolio, I made a
vow to myself that only the best would do and the photographer had to have
the eye of an artist first and foremost; what drew me to Avi was the fact
that when looking at his work, I felt I was peering into a world of beauty
that is hidden behind the lens of his camera, his work was unlike anything
I'd seen from any other professional or talented amateur.

And that's the gift Avi is blessed with, and its a gift I was lucky enough
to have shared with me: his amazing ability to see the potential of his
subjects and through flawless technique and direction to capture that with
the snap of his camera and immortalize them in art. Its one thing to create
art with the stroke of a brush or to craft it by hand, but when Avi takes a
subject, me in this case and transforms them into a litteral example of
"Life imitating art", it will take your breath away.

Everyone at Celebrity Vogue have displayed a level of professionalism,
honesty and humanity that is very hard to come by and it comes from the
respect that everyone holds in Avi, he is someone whose work is left to
speak for itself, and that's why Avi and everyone at Celebrity Vogue are
the only Photography studio I'll genuinely recommend.

The only upsetting experience I had throughout this journey was having to
choose which shots I'd give priority to; Avi's work is so incredible that
its difficult to narrow down what to take home. Uncompromising, flawless
and powerful are the only way to describe what Avi will produce, and he's
his own harshest critic and will not settle for anything less.

My time with Celebrity Vogue, along with the photos by Avi is something
I'll cherish; you made me into a timeless piece of art Avi and you have my
deepest thanks, I'll be seeing you again soon.

Dear Avi and Alia,

Our magical package has arrived last night!!!

We were both speechless to receive such a wonderful gift!

Dominic and I had tears in our eyes opening beautiful pages of fabulous memories.

There are no words to describe how much we both appreciate "Daria" and all the personal touches you have both put in to make me feel even more special.

Avi, you are a true artist and I will always be very proud of all the photos (and there are a few!!!)!

I feel comfortable and excited about my beautiful images being displayed at your gallery.

Alia, thank you for being "a creative director" on Daria Project. You must have spent a lot of time on managing your staff and do all running around, so we have our beautiful album as soon as possible! Thank you so much!!!

Love, Always,

Thank you for the photoshoot for the Kapadia's. It was a wonderful experience to meet such a talented artist. Thank you for your time and patience. We do look forward to seeing our order soon. We left for Fiji on Sunday 21st and a friend will be picking up our photos at the end of july. Alpa is interested in getting further copies of her pictures done and may be in touch with you at a later date (when she finds employment and is able to afford the pictures). My husband & I will be back to get more done, once we permanently relocate to Sydney soon.

Wishing you much success.

Dear Avi

You are absolutely wonderful!!!!! I took the images to be framed today (actually about 2 hours after they arrived because I was soooo excited), they are even more gorgeous matched with a frame and matte!! When I saw how the finished product was going to look I was thrilled. The ladies at the store where I was having them framed were in awe! They wanted to know where did I get them, I told them they would need to travel to Australia for this kind of perfection. They knew they didn't come from anywhere around here. You are truly a master. They were well worth every penny. I was trying to remember how you had the gallery picture in your studio framed because it was beautiful. I wanted something similar to it. I will let you know when the box arrives, I can't wait to see them too. . I am thrilled with everything!

Thanks,

I decided to take the plunge back in November and get some photos done and I am glad I did! Having seen your work previously and thinking about it for a long time i decided to just go for it !

Avi and Michelle did an amazing job and made me feel so comfortable. I can't wait to receive the photos, hopefully soon! Will you be using any of the photos on your website?

Thanks for taking some photos of my boyfriend and I, I am sure he will be shocked when he sees them.

I will definately be back next year for some more photos

Hi,

We came to see you in early November for a photo shoot.
We forgot to mention that we've got no problem with you using any of the "couple" photos in your gallery, if you wish.
Out of interest, are we likely to receive the photos before Christmas?
Thanks again for everything. We're getting some beautiful photographs (especially of Sue!), and we had great fun making them, too!

What lovely photos, Avi.
We have been talking of doing this for a long time, finally we did here in Sydney and we were fortunate to land in front of your lens.
The experience overall very much exceeded our expectations.
We have been resisting peeking at the wrapped up ones all weekend.
I think we will be back for framing sooner than we thought...

Thank you again for everything,

Dear Avi

I just had to write to tell everyone the story of our visit to your studio.

My new husband and I were honeymooning in Sydney, just strolling around the shops when we passed your 'Seductive Art' Gallery. 'Seductive', I had to see that.

On discovering that we could pose for seductive nude photos together, I was intrigued. "What an adventurous and daring activity for a honeymoon". We would have some very original art to keep and a great conversation piece. After speaking with one of your staff, I decided this was definitely a great idea.

After some (a lot) of convincing, my conservative new husband and I arrived at the studio the next day, got dolled up in the true theatre fashion (well done Michelle!) and posed. After a lot of stretching and "arching my back", we finished up and got dressed. Then I thought, "My goodness, what was I thinking, I'm no model, this is going to be so scary." I sat down with my ankles tightly together and hands wringing in my lap waiting for Avi to show us the unretouched photos he had just taken.

Well ... I was gobsmacked. I sat with my mouth gaping, unable to say anything. My new hubby couldn't stop "ooohhh" and "aaahhh"ing at the pictures on the computer screen. Avi's use of light, poses and camera angles was unbelievable. I was so impressed, I was wondering how much wall space we had spare at home.

Our friends were not told exactly what we had purchased. Rather, we had them arrive and framed before we let them know about our nude endeavours. They think we are naughty and over the top (in a nice way). Most laughed and made jokes, others turned away. All agreed though, that from an artistic viewpoint (and not the fact that these were their naked friends), they were lovely black and white pictures. Most importantly, we love them (thanks photo editors! Parichan and Toy) and my courageous hubby was even more excited about their arrival than I was.

Avi, what a fantastic job you have done. It was a pleasure to meet you and do business with you. You have my vote and I may not be an art critic, but I believe it takes an awful lot to impress me.

You deserve to go a long way in your career.

Good luck and best wishes,

Hi Avi and staff,

The photo shoot was so enjoyable, no need to be nervous at all, it was really comfortable and very fun =) The photographs turned out amazing and as you know i ended up going for the larger print after all. Everyone loves the photographs, Michelle did a great job with the hair and make up and Avi you are a very talented photographer!
Would love to come back for more photos some time in the future.
Oh forgot to mention the wonderful help from Alia =)

Hey you guys

How are you? I wished you were closer, I would like my pics done again. I have had so many compliments on the ones you took for me and silly me I lost the disc with the proofs when I moved house :-(.

I hope business is good and you are doing well. I am trying to wangle a trip to Sydney for work in November so may well see you again. If not definitely if and when you come to London we can catch up.

Thanks again for the fab photos!!

We found out we are pregnant so it has been a busy time and we are very exited.

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful photos.
They are the best photos we have and you were the third place we went to.
I really wish I had found your details earlier and I could of spent more money on photos with you as they are 100 times better than what we got from (omitted) and (omitted)! Their photos don't compare to yours. Thanks again for giving us beautiful photos that we can now have as a memory.

Hope you had a great time in Cananda.

Hi Avi,

We love the photos and I am hoping to take Nicole to Vivien’s in the July holidays.
I notice the Girlfriend Model Search is on and there is a day at Westfield Liverpool soon so I may take her there. I think though that if you are signed up with an agency you then can’t enter into any competitions – is that your understanding of it??????

Anyway Avi we will stay in touch and keep you posted.

Many thanks Kirstin, Mark and Nicole

Hi,

We purchased the beautiful "Smiling Buddha" from your Gallery at The Rocks back in March. Thought I would send you a photo of it hanging on our dining room wall - looks fantastic!!!!! Unfortunately my camera doesn't do it justice and the apartment gets a lot of sunlight which reflects in the shot. I ended up going for a black frame as the choice of dark brown wooden frames was very limited - they followed all the other suggestions you had outlined. Thanks for the Gift Certificate photo shoot - good excuse to visit Sydney again on our next visit to OZ and I have wanted a photo of us both for some time now.
Hope life is treating you well.

Dear Avi and the Team at Celebrity Vogue,

Many thanks for the beautiful photos you did of Janelle. I picked them up on Monday.
When I came to collect them I had a friend and her Son with me, he actually does the
make up for the Rocky Horror Show. They were both very impressed with your Studio
and your work and really loved my photos, which are now in being framed. He
commented on what a fantastic job Michelle had done with the make up, naturally
we agreed. They intend to return and have photos with you. I too will be back to order
some more. As you know I have another friend booked in with you in a couple of
weekends, I am sure she will be just as happy with the outcome of her photos. I will
see you when she goes to pick up hers as I havfe arranged to meet her then to reorder.

Once again thank you and we are delighted.

See you soon

Hello Avi,

You took my glamour photos in 2001 when I walked into your studio on a whim while visiting Sydney. I had 4 hours to kill and it was the best four hours in transit. I’ve been traveling around and now live in the USA, in particular, Las Vegas. All these years I’ve had most of my belongings stored in Australia. I recently had to pack up my belongings for another move and found my CD of the glamour shots you took of me. Everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve looked to see if there was anyone else who does glamour shots the way you do but have not found anyone like you. You’ve taken glamour shots beyond the norm and made it possible for
ordinary person like me to look good in photos for once in my life. I love my photos and will forever treasure them.

All the best to you,

Hello Avi and Michelle,
 
Just a Note to thank you both and your Team for making our visit to your
most beautiful studio one to remember and very pleasant.
 
As you know we have been clients in the past and once again even though
I haven't picked up my photos as yet I know they are outstanding. We are
more than pleased, you all did a wonderful job, just so professional. I will be
returning from Queensland on the weekend of the 18th of May, so I am hoping
that the photos will be ready by then. I can arrange the final payment before
that day if necessary. It would just save me driving back up from the South Coast
again. We arrived home at almost 9.30 pm after our visit with you on Wednesday,
even though it was a long day for us, it was worth every moment. As promised
I have sent you some photos of where in our home my large photo you took of
Lauren is. When I receive Janelle's things will turn around and I will move the
others that now hang in the hall out on a big wall together as they don't get seen
too much in the hall, they will stand out fabulously.
 
Thank you again and I tell everyone to go to you, you just won't beat it.

Hi Avi, I hope you are well.

Take care and thanks again for the all your hard work!!!!.

Hi Avi and Michele,

Firstly, thank you for assisting to have my photos picked up. They arrived in perfect condition.

I am very happy with them and once I pay this lot off, am thinking about coming in to have some more done.

In the meantime, I gave the voucher you sent to me to a friend. Her boyfriend is training for a body building competition so they will book shortly and attend together.

Anyway, thank you thank you for bringing out the best in me. Whilst I had no time to prepare and would like to make some changes next time, they were so good even my own mother didn't recognise me.

Hi Avi,

I just wanted to let you know, that my boyfriend was stunned about the photos. It was a great moment, when he unpacked them. He would have never thought of a present like that. He is so proud that this lady on these beautiful pictures is his girlfriend ;-), that he put the two bigger pictures in our living room, the big one even on the most centre wall of the room. So now, sometimes, we have to put a big bunch of flowers in front or put some clothing over it, depending on who is visiting us ;-). I love them too! They are really great!!! Graet work! Please say also „Thank you“ to Jackie for me. She`s done a great job too. The timing of the delivery was not too bad after all, as the present turned from a Christmas present into an engagement present ;-).

My boyfriend also wants to have a look at the photos of our session from November to have a look, if he wants more photos from that, I hope this is possible. So thank you for the great work and I hope we will meet again this year.

Dear Avi and Jackie,

Just wanted to touch base again and say thanks for Tuesdays experience. I have never
dose anything like it before and I had so much fun! I cant wait to get the prints that you took.
If I had all the money in the world I would get some more of those big ones!!!

If you are ever looking for someone to use in some pics∑ I will be on the next plane.
It was fun and relaxed, I love the way you both work. You made it a really enjoyable experience that I would not hesitate to do again. I cant believe how relaxed you made me feel about my body and you made me look good. Thankyou so much!

Have a great Australia Day weekend.

Take care

Dear Avi:

I have been thinking about sending you an email and thanking you for the beautiful photos you took from me two years ago upon my visit to Sidney from San Francisco.
I love the way you captured my energy, etc. I don’t know if you remember me but hey, you do have my photos and can look me up.

I am planning another trip to Sidney mainly because I want another session with you. Tell me, are you far away from your previous locations?

I look forward to seeing you and having another sets of photos taken,
Take care,
Elahe

Hi Avi. Thanks for the photos, the challenge of doing a portrait of
another photographer it is a task i would like, as we had never met before
makes it harder , the two reasons i chose your studio is A- i liked the shots
you do and B. ETHICS, There are many studios who claim to be portrait
studios all they are after is peoples money this is their number one goal,
before people know IT they have spent a fortune on prints talked into it by
sales people, they do damage to our image as ethical pros ,my saying is
honest work practice at all times keeps your clients coming back, yours must
as I know your ethics are number one we must catch up for a coffee soon and
talk about cameras. Regards

Hi Avi, Alia, Michelle & Jess and the gang....Thanks so much for the great photographic experience. I was at a point in my life where I needed something just for me and when i look at the great artistic photos on my wall I see something I am extremely proud of. It was like a coming out of the shadows into the light again, I feel alive everytime I look at them.
Thank you so much, this will be an experience I will cherish for as long as I live and beyond.

In friendship

Dear Avi and everyone,

How are you all? thanks for this great invite. I wanted to talk to you about one of the photos that you sent to me.
I will be in Australia from July 21st through July 28th and would love to book a shoot with you. I need some head shots.
I can not find anyone in New York who can even come close to the photos that you took last October.

Hi Avi and Michelle,

Received my photos yesterday and they\'re just faaabulous!!! I think the \'goddess rising\' shot with the blue skirt is my fave. Having a look at my proofs, I might have to order a few more in the near future. But thanks soo much they\'re well worth it. Alma from Bellydance Oasis magazine loves them too and is considering putting one on the cover again!

Thanks again,

Hi There,

I recently had my pictures taken with you.

I love your before and after photography. I often look on your website and think it would be good to see some new photos of recent before and afters.

I have told many people about your photography. I am very happy with the results from mine.

Kind Regards

Dear Avi, Alia and Michelle,

Thanks for an unforgettable experience that we had at your studio on Saturdays 10 February! Gavin and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had fun.

Your professional attitude and approach and the environment allowed us to feel relaxed and comfortable with each other and most importantly with you and the camera. Any awkwardness was dispelled the moment you helped us feel comfortable with ourselves, provided words of encouragement and made us feel extremely special. Thank you once again for an experience and we look forward to the beautiful photographs & works of Art. We plan to frame the photos and create a special place for our artwork to be displayed in our entrance hall, passage and master bedroom. Once this has been done, we'll send you a photo or two for you to brag.

Best regards and we look forward to catching up over coffee or a meal on our future trip to Sydney.

PS: Michelle you're a star and helped us look stunning. Thank you!

Gavin and Sharon

Hello Avi,

Just wanted to say thank you to you and Jessie for a great experience. I felt oddly empowered when I left you studio.

My only wish is that we had more time- in retrospect I would have liked to try some additional poses and experiment with different hair/ makeup. Maybe we'll be back one day and can do it again when we're not rushing off to catch a plane.

Ken mentioned that I kept calling you Ari - sorry about that!
We can't wait to see the prints and get the big one framed and hung.

All the best,
Rebecca and Ken

March 8, 2007

Dear Avi,

First I want to let you know that I had a great time and lots of fun doing the photo shoot on Tuesday with you. It gave me a lot of Self-confident, and I hope and hope the results will prove it.

I'm sure that your work will bring out wonderful pictures, and I can't wait for the final products. But I do have a small request can you not touch them up too much. For example< I am not it is required to "straighten" the bone of my spine in the big picture I wanted, just a thought. After all you are the expert, just want it to still be me with what I have and I know I am not perfect (even though my mother thinks I am She is Jewish mother after all).
Thanks again for your time, looking forward to receiving the package.

Thanks,

Hello Avi,

Thank you again for the quote and the quick reply.

Rossana is going to call the frame shop on Monday with the quote and we will contact you to confirm the order after that.

Rossana and Marie Celeste are honoured to be included in your Gallery. You also now have Rossana's permission to display the Nudes, should you wish to sow them as well.

Too bad we are not down there now, as well. Rossana is now 7 months along our second (we are expecting a boy this time). and she is absolutely gorgeous! Would love to get some shots of Marie Celeste Kissing the belly, etc.

Thanks again to you, your wife, and your great team.

Hello my dear friends!

Here is that German girl :)
Thank you so much for the pictures, I finally had them in my mailbox last week and I am so very happy about it! Thank you
I had such a great time with all of you; I just loved working with you guys!!!!
Wish I would live a little closer, so we could do that more often... cause I need pictures more and more.

Since I returned to Germany thing have been going great. I will have my first single released in 4 weeks, am on several TV shows and so on its amazing. You can have a look at the MEDIA on my homepage www.deborah-rosenkranz.com . Unfortunately most of it is still in German, but it'll change soon.

What I was wondering. We already talked about using the pictures for my home page maybe.

Now I was wondering, if we could also use one or two beautiful pictures for my first single. Of course we would put everything you want in big letters underneath and also send you the music!
I would feel so honoured to use those pictures. there's just no photographer here that comes close to what you're doing... to be honest.

Okay, that's it from me. hope to hear from you soon and it would be so great to get an Ok from you :)

Have an awesome week.
. And I might be back in Sydney sooner than I thought :)

Greeting from Germany.
Deborah

Hi Avi,

Just wanted to say that over the holidays we have had a lot of visitors to our place and they all love the photos you took (which are now framed). A couple of the people are professional photographers themselves and so it is an added compliment.

Our daughter loved the photos you did for her to take home to the US.

Hope this year is wonderful for all of you.

Cheers,

Hi there Avi, Jesse and Michelle,

Just Wanted to drop you a line to let you know that our photographs arrived safely on Friday. One of the comments that I think best describes how we feel about them is "that they take our breath away".
Far exceeding our expectations and I know will give us a lifetime of enjoyment.

Extraordinary work Avi our sincere thanks to you and Jessie and the team.

May we take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to you all and your families for Christmas and 2007?

Kind Regards

Dear Avi and Michelle,

Just to let you know that the photographs arrived safely in Toronto today.
As expected they are beautiful and I wish I looked like that everyday.
My husband said I look like a 1950's movie star!

Avi, when we were choosing the pictures I remember you saying once I got them I will want more. you were right, except its my husband who wants it more!!

I really can't remember what they all looked like (and you told me that this would be a problem) I just remember that there were 18 of them that I loved.

How much would it be to have the other 5 more done but in your smallest size photo- not too big.

As for which ones, I truly can't recall them all I would trust you to choose the ones that you think are the best - you are the professional.

Please let me know if this is possible and what the price would be.

Thanks so much,

Warm regards from a chilly Canada

Hi Jessie and Avi,

Just a quick email to let you know, that our photos arrived today. I was so excited when I went to pick them up and carefully tore through all the packaging and Sellotape to get to the big reveal. They're absolutely beautiful and I love them- Ralph hasn't seen them yet but I'm sure he'll be just as rapt as I am.

So, I just wanted to thank you so much for capturing those beautiful images that will stay with us forever. I've passed your details to a couple of friends who are planning a visit to Sydney next month- they're very impressed with your fabulous work and our experience with celebrity Vogue- so they may just give you a call for an appointment.
I am so going to talk to Ralph about ordering a couple of the other shots that we didn't order with this lot, if that's OK?

Many thanks again, much appreciated

Dear Avi,

I received the photos.was hoping you'd make me boob-sier!
Guess I should put the photo in a red sock, and write a note to Santa this Christmas instead.

Btw, bought the MOS CD, and when the tune from Love Generation ring in my head, I'll think so fondly of the fun we both had at your studio.

You are a genius! Thanks for celebrating the art of the female form, and for making women all over the world look more beautiful. You complete US!

Hi,

I love them. Just arrived in Japan and opened the canister. Thank you, I was little concerned that they would have the same effect that they had at the gallery (buyer's regret), but I am just as overwhelmed as I was when I first saw them!
Now to get to my new home in the United States, early next year so I can display them. I will be sure to send you pictures of the displays. Again thanks for your hospitality. I await for the bio's. You can just e-mail them to me as words docs if you like. Take care of yourselves.

Cheers,

Hello Avi!

Not sure how you are on the memory side of things, but I am guessing you're quite good and will remember the backpacker who posed on the chair back in February. I haven't had a chance to look at the print and it is carefully store away at my house in Canberra unopened, so thanks for organizing that. I have been having the most amazing time; I can't describe all the people that I have met and the positive influences they have had on me. This is a beautiful country and I am so glade to be exploring it. I have been all through NSW, VIC, SA and now I've just arrived to Alice Springs.
I've had a blast, but I'm going to have to get a job here, as a very good and very persuasive photographer in Sydney convinced me to spend a third of my travelling money before I even started! You cheeky bugger!:)
I remember that you had an exhibition in April, so I hope all your beautiful work was well received by the best of luck if it is still running.
Do let me know if you ended up displaying the photo I was in, it would be cool to know that my photo was displayed somewhere.

I've still remembered the advice you gave me months ago and haven't looked back. Hope you are enjoying a great season there in Sydney.

Best wishes and a smelly backpacker Hug

Hi Avi & Michelle

Wanted to send this e-mail along time ago but sharlyn and I were too swamped with work! Thank you again for the wonderful Celebrity Vogue experience. The photos arrived perfect condition.

Sharlyn and I love the work done on our photos. It took another 3 weeks to get all of them framed. The girls at the framing shop were very impressed with the photos as well. I am convinced it's very difficult to find a place in Singapore that produces such high-standards in photography for 'non-model' mortals like us!

Thank you once again!

Warmest regards,

Hi Avi,

How are you? As I mentioned, our family loves your portraits! Both our parents want copies as well as other friends and relatives. You did a brilliant job!

I want to make certain the reprints are of our largest photo 20"X24" from our original order. As far as the 24qty. passport size photos- could you make the bit larger? Perhaps 2X4 inches?

Lastly, how much is the total in US dollars?

Thanks,

Hi Avi,

Yesterday I was so excited, the pictures have finally arrived and I felt like a child, opening an Xmas present. It was more than a present. They really are good, especially the big ones. Yo u did a fantastic job. Thanks so much. Now I have to get the perfect frame order to hang them up decently.
What is the name of the framing, the way you did it in the window.
For the big one, I don't a frame, because the quality is excellent, I prefer let it be glued on a surface. And then there must be a spot there for all of them...

Have a great time and kindest regards,

Ps: I am planning to make a CD with my panpipe songs. Then I will use one the pictures as a cover. For sure it will sell better with a sexy picture.

Hi Avi

Thanks for my beautiful photos, which arrived 3 days before Johns birthday.

He is really pleased with them and would be interested in ordering more. Is there any way you can end the remaining photos, by e-mail or CD, so he could choose?

Thank you again for doing a fantastic job.

October 2, 2003

Dear Avi,

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the beautiful photographs. We are absolutely delighted with them they are a credit to you.
Actually where I have left them to be framed the man there who is a photographer himself said he has never seen anything as good as them if they are digital!!!!
He actually had the Ansett contract many years and he is a very good black and white photographer. Anyway he was certainly extremely impressed with their quality.

Once again thanks we ill treasure them for life and down the track the girls will be able to take some.

Kind Regards,

Hello!
I don't know if you remember me. I came to Australia in December 2002, I am from Austria, my name is Magdalena and I had many braids in my hair and you made perfect pictures of me.

I know my answer is late, but I just wanted to find the time to tell you that I am really so happy that I made those pictures cause they really make me glade and proud and I will keep them as memories.

Do you remember that I was completely out of money? Well that has changed now and I want to order the rest of the pictures that I liked too.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, big hug!

Hello Avi Ohana

First of all I would like to thank all of you for the nice treatment you gave me when I was in Sydney. I will never forget it!!!

I received the pictures last week.. Looked them over and loved them.I was shocked to my bones that I could look so fine in a photo.

All my friends have told me to take them to an agency and try to become a model!!! We will see. I will be coming back to Sydney in November. I want to take some more pictures in colours. -)

Looking forward to seeing all of you again.

By the way. I loved the enlargement you made for me.. It is hanging on my wall..

Avi,

Meity and her wedding planner loved the photos; you hit the target market well. The shot of Meity with the opera house in the background was a particular hit over in Indonesia.

The photo with both of us with the Bridge and the Opera House was equally good and will feature on the front page of our wedding invitation. I liked it because your airbrushing work on me covers much;)

Thanks; Both Meity and I really appreciate all your expertise and also all the effort to complete the job in such short time.

I look forward to talking to you soon.

Hi Avi & Team

I just wanted to say that I had an absolutely fantastic time at your studio the other day.

To be honest, I have dreamt about having professional photographs of me taken now for over 10 years. Finally, I've gotten around to doing it, thanks to Julia purchasing the gift voucher for me as a Christmas present.

So, as I had been dreaming of that day for a long time, you had a lot to live up to on the day.

I am delighted to say that your service surpassed even my dreams!

From the moment we arrived, I felt completely comfortable. Everyone was exceptionally friendly.

Your make-up artist did a wonderful job with Make up.

Avi, I thought you were marvellous. So patient, so considerate and quite the perfectionist, who's in this setting it was just what was needed.

I was very impressed how you took your time to try out the different poses, and then if you weren't happy you'd try something else.

I expected places like Star shots to rush you through the process, so that they can get the next customer. Your service was amazing. You were very patient, and very professional.

Both Julia and I were delighted with the photos and cant wait to receive the final prints.

And what a surprise it was receiving a video of the whole experience. I've shown it to my family and staff members, who all now want to come down and have their shots taken.

Once again, thank you so much for making my dreams come true better than I could have even imagined!

You have definitely found a repeat customer!

Please feel free to use this as a testimonial too, if you want to.

Sincerely yours,

Savannah Wells

Dear Avi,

2003 Barefoot & Black Tie Cocktail Party

Our Chairman, Stewart Ewen, has asked me to tank you very much for your generous donation for the Lucky envelopes at the 'Barefoot & Black Tie Cocktail Party', which was held at Palm Beach on Saturday, January 18, 2003.

I am pleased to report that the party and indeed the whole 'Castle in the Sand' event- was a huge success, and that we exceeded our target of profit of $150,000.

As you know, all the money raised will go directly to fund research and treatment programs into leukaemia and cancer.

Thank you for your part in helping us towards our goal: a world without cancer, nothing less.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Avi & Team,

We received the photos already weeks (or is it even months?) ago and are very happy with the results- just as you said we would be!
Next time we're in Sydney, we would like to have colour photos taken and I (that's me Blista) would also like the art kind of photos.
Like the one with the girl like a mermaid in a glass, and the one of that lady without arms.

We're sorry for this late reply but things have been hectic here! Even since we got home from our vacation in beautiful Sydney, we've been in busy mode all the time. We are moving to another province, which takes some effort to arrange it all in a proper way.
Moving to another province isn't really big for Australian standards- the distance is Sydney to Gosford.

But the Dutch standards it's as if we're moving to another country, besides that, Fred had the opportunity to become a Logistic Manager and of coarse he accepted the job.
The downside is that we both lack time to do fun-stuff beside work. We haven't been really social for a few months now but I suppose that will all be different as soon as the move to Rijswijk is done.

We hope you are all doing great and that business is booming (is that the right expression?). If you get Dutch people for a session, they might be acquainted to us.. We told all our family, friends, acquaintances and colleagues about the studio and showed them the most beautiful photos.

Some people were flapper gasped, enthusiastic, and curious about the artist.. But guess what? Not all of them were excited about the photos. Can you even imagine that? We sure can't and so we decided that they were jealous and express that in giving nasty comments. We got some really degrading comments of people whom we didn't expect such a reaction. That was very unfortunate- especially since the worst comment came from a relative of Fred. So I totally had it with her and didn't even contact her after that day (December 7). In some sort of way the photos created a gap between her and me.

Nevertheless, I don't regret the session and nor those Fred. We're happy we made the booking back then, on the 18th of October. I'm wearing that bight orange bag on regular basis (good size to take with me wherever I go) but I was just thinking that maybe you can print the location of the bag too ( it doesn't mention where the studio is located).

Thank you again, take-care now and possibly till next time.

Hi!

You took my photos in April. I love them! My house burned down and I lost the Images. How do I go about getting more and is it possible to see it all on line?

Thanks,

Hi Avi,

I just thought I would write and let you know that I received my photos just before Christmas and they look great! They survived the journey to Canada perfectly intact (although the packages was mangled - so Kudos to whoever those your packaging!)

The lighting looks great and the sharpness of the black and white prints are impressive.

I will let you know if I need any more copies and when I am going back to Sydney again.

Thank you for all the hard work and making a challenging subject like me look good! Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Hi Avi,

I just got the packages today and opened up the 8x12 package, I want to let Roy open the big ones!

They look great even better than I remember! Roy is taking them into work tomorrow to show a couple of ladies your work that has been interested in flying to Sydney to work with you! : -P

I was wondering if the 8x12 copies of the 2 images we ordered in the large size would be coming separately as I did not see them included in the 8x12 package?

Hope all is well with you!

Cheers,

Hi Avi,

Just a quick one to say how anxious we are to receive our photos especially after getting the lovely surprise video!
What a great touch to your campaign. It brought tears to my eyes and now going back through the day it makes me wish an entire video of the shoot could also be purchased with the photographs. Maybe this is something you may want to offer to clients- especially those who are coming back again and again.

Look forward to receive the photographs and the next session in 2003.

Hello Alia & Avi

I finally got the photos!! Wowww.its so difficult to explain what I felt when I saw the pictures for the first time! You exactly know who to make the impossible get possible! If I compare the pictures on the CD with those on the paper, I must say that there is a really huge difference. The result is totally sophisticate no doubt; its first-class quality! Some friends said, that if I hadn't told them that was me on the pictures, they wouldn't have recognized me! But I mean it, its o.k. Like that, because in that way I had the opportunity to be, or just to like, somebody else for once in my life. And its true Alia. as you said it's going to be the most beautiful present you will take with you from Australia.

Thanks again all of you guys
