Someone on his staff is getting a bonus this month. Maybe he will start to look more pleasant. The guy always looks like he just came out of the shower and sat on a cucumber.

Well, Yana Lapochkina shot those horrible vegetables and that innocent black cat.
However, Yana Lapochkina is not Yana Lapikova, Putin's new photographer... or is she?

Picture (of Lapikova) might be worth a thousand words - but should not lead to illiteracy...

And this is Julia Ioffe, the author of the Moscow report:

oops, sorry, that is not Julia Ioffe, that is Julia Restoin-Roitfeld...

She clearly has incredible talents and deserved the job.

What ever happened to Quaddafi's Ukranian "nurses"?

Well, he could always ask his pal Medvedev who is a Leica M9 shooter, he even recorded a video testimonial a while back.

She works under him, clearly. Or does she just work long hours on his staff?

the newest picture I saw of Medvedev was with an S2.

It's good to be the king.

She can, um, photograph me, um, anytime... 😉

In all seriousness, it's kind've judgmental to write her off solely because she's good looking. Has anyone seen her work? It's not totally unbelievable that she is a decent photographer.

her photography... well let's just say if I handed those pictures to Vladimir Putin I would shortly find myself in Siberia without a winter coat.

Again: read carefully, the article is trash, the examples shown are not her work at all!
The examples are signed by a certain ms. Lapochkina, not Lapikova!
