"Cenorin recently engaged Ilya’s Photography for a photo shoot of a new model of one of our products, a washer/disinfector. Along with the equipment Ilya’s Photography provided us with supplies images, assorted functional images of medical devices and captured for us interaction of a person with the equipment. All of these required a variety of set ups, lighting and composition. The results were crisp, elegant and beautiful in their presentation of an industrial product. Our sales team is delighted to have this quality of work for our website, brochures and other print material. Ilya promised satisfaction and he delivered."

"Ilya's sense of reverence and respect is very deep. He understood immediately that we did not want him to use any flash, and that we did not want him distracting the congregation. Without doing either, Ilya's photos were absolutely stunning. He was able to use natural light in creative ways and his sense of artistry is reflected in every shot. He creatively frames each picture, and is able to capture the emotion of the moment. We were more than delighted with Ilya's photography in our church and would highly recommend him."

"I heard about Ilya's Photography through a friend who had hired him to do food shots for a very exclusive Seattle restaurant. She was raving about his work and about his wonderful personality. I spoke to Ilya about doing some shots for my brother's polenta company. He came, we spoke, he toured the facility and at the end I knew he was the perfect person for the job. We did the shoot over several hours and the results were fantastic. The product looks incredible, edible and savory. Not only was Ilya's photography a work of art, but his personailty and dedication to the project was unbelievable. Thank you Ilya for making our polenta look so beautiful! "

"We have been using Ilya’s Photography for all of our professional photography work since 1995. Night time photography is difficult for a normal photograph. It is particularly difficult when we are trying to show the lighting system itself. Ilya has the proper equipment for this type of work and a good understanding of what we are trying to show to our potential customers. His work has always been excellent and, many times, surprises us with how well it shows our systems. Ilya is easy to deal with and charges very reasonable fees for his services. He is very accommodating in meeting our schedules and the photos are delivered promptly after the work is complete. We would recommend him highly."
