For the past two years Zahar (Raskin Studio Photography) has taken both formal and candid photos for our entire school community. I can say without exception that he delivers beautiful, professional images of every child and teacher in our school. Zahar has a unique ability to capture every person's personality and style. He is an artist, something that cannot be said for most photographers. In a word, the photos are spectacular and we look forward to having him back to our program every year. In addition, he is reliable, professional, and prompt with his service delivery. You will love your Raskin Studio experience! THANK YOU!!!!

Working with Zahar was such an amazing experience for our engagement photo shoot. We had the photo shoot in Boston, where my fiance is from, and I had been communicating with him via email. I was able to explain what I was looking for with a few words and pictures - and he was able to find us the perfect location and take the most beautiful pictures! We had taken pictures in 4 locations (one of which we added at the last minute) and had a wardrobe change from Indian to American clothes. He was very accommodating and paid attention to every detail! He really made sure that everything was perfect and just the way wanted!

Zahar was our wedding photographer, and we couldn't have asked for a better one! He met with us in advance to discuss the style of the wedding and the direction in which we wanted to take the photography, and gave us tips and advice. During the wedding, he was hard at work making sure to catch every important moment along with his assistant shooter, Katya. A preview gallery was provided to us quickly and then more and more photos were added until we had 1000 amazing high quality photos. Every one of them looks as if the moment is happening right now. I highly recommend Zahar for your photography needs.

Zahar Raskin did a fall photo shoot for our family with 2 very busy 3 year twin boys and the pictures came out beautifully. He was really able to capture my boys' energy and spirit. Zahar is professional, punctual and above all a real master in his craft. We absolutely would recommend him to anyone interested in professionally executed photographs with a very personal touch. Thank you, Zahar for these timeless memories!

Zahar is great! We had a falimy photo shoot with one year old, and Zahar made the photo session fun for everyone. He's very easy going and he definitely knows how to cooperate with kids. Zahar is also very prompt and responsve, and we received photos on time. We had a great time working with him and in the result got the most beautiful, vibrant and memorable photos!

Zahar Raskin was all we could have asked for in a wedding photographer! Even in the planning stages he made sure to review all the details with us, reviewed the schedule for the day and made sure we were in agreement over what we were looking for out of the photos. The day of, he arrived early, and did an excellent job coordinating and directing, despite the apparent chaos at my house. Zahar provided us a small preview album a short week after the wedding so that we could admire and share with friends and delivered all the corrected photos within ~2 months (even despite the busy wedding season). The photos are absolutely gorgeous! The colors are vibrant, and he was able to capture the joy and life of our special day. We have already received countless compliments and requests for referrals. We wholeheartedly recommend RaskinStudio for your wedding photography needs. Thanks again for helping to capture our special day for a lifetime! - Masha and Danya

My husband and I asked Zahar to be our wedding photographer and it was the best decision! He was so easy to work with, so kind and easy-going, and very professional. When working with him, you can really tell that this is something that he is passionate about, and works hard on. Zahar met with us several times prior to the wedding to do consult about what it is we wanted, our style, as well as help us figure out what the schedule of events should be on the day of the wedding. On the actual day of the wedding, we were running quite behind schedule, but that didn't frazzle him at all. We asked him to show up to my parents' house, where we were getting ready in separate rooms. He showed up to a house that was frantic, almost like from the movie "my big fat greek wedding." He was calm and cool as he walked around and found some very cool shots to take. Because we were late getting started, we didn't have enough time to go to our planned photo destination, and had to improvise. He was ver

My experience with Zahar was very smooth from start to finish. Zahar prepped me for the session in advance by emailing me tips about clothes and makeup that look best in business portraits. In the studio Zahar put me at ease right away. He worked very hard to get the best possible photos and he definitely succeeded. The only difficult part for me was deciding which of the many excellent portraits to use!

Sharona Rubi

It was a great pleasure to work with Zahar. He took a lot of time perfecting our photos and creating our beautiful Wedding Album. He is very flexible, professional, understanding and quick to respond. He has a creative eye which is portrayed in his pictures!

Timur Feinstein

Zahar did an excellent job in taking my professional photographs. He paid great attention to detail even before the shoot, ensuring that I knew which types of shirts and ties work best in professional photographs. He was creative and diligent during the shoot, experimenting with many poses, taking lots of pictures, and really trying to get best photographs possible. I am very pleased with the pictures that I have as a result of this shoot, and with the overall experience.

I recently commissioned Zahar for some professional and graduation in-studio portraits. He has a lot of great ideas for posing and lighting. I got a wide variety of pictures taken. Many of the pictures are nearly perfect without retouching. Zahar is also extremely friendly and accommodating. I had some special requests about the ways I'd like the pictures retouched for wrinkles and other blemishes, as well as shadow enhancements. He did the retouching skillfully. He worked with me to ensure that I'm completely satisfied, with a quick turnaround time. I highly recommend him!

We used Rasking Studio Photography services for our engagement photo shoot and also to capture our wedding ceremony as well. To say that Zahar of RaskinStudio did an excellent job would be an understatement. Zahar was very receptive to all our needs and wants, and provided an excellent service. He is very well versed in the art of photography and we had a blast to pose for him. He did a meticulous job of arranging each shot as the only and most important shot, the attention to detail was impeccable. My husband and I hope to have the pleasure of working w/ Zahar in the future as well. Keep up the excellent job.

Yulika Forman

Zahar did a photo shoot to take my professional pictures. I am not crazy about being photographed, but Zahar is good at making one feel comfortable. In the process of the photo shoot, he helped me develop natural looking poses that looked good on photographs. He made files available to me very quickly. I was quite pleased with the quality of the pictures and will be using them for my professional needs.

Katie Duley Leyden

Zahar captured our family photos with our 6 month old who is normally full of smiles and found herself to be quite skeptical that day. Despite her pensive attitude he did a wonderful job still catching photos of her showing some personality. He also had a great eye for lighting and gave wonderful direction on how to pose which resulted in a great album of our first family photos.

We hired Zahar Raskin to be our wedding photographer and all the photos came out absolutely amazing! I had no idea what to expect from a wedding photo shoot, and I was really impressed with the care, thoughtfulness and creativity that Zahar has put into planning our photo shoot. We mostly wanted to have "beach/waterfront photos", and Zahar came up with many great ideas and offered unique locations to shoot that we would not have thought of ourselves. During the wedding itself, Zahar was very attentive, and easy-going; he made the photo shoot stress-free and fun, which is a HUGE deal with all the other stress that goes on during a wedding. He also worked really well with our kids and elderly family members accommodating their needs, so that it would be comfortable and easy for them to take pictures. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful, but more than that, there is something very tender and personal in each one. It is clear that Zahar has a rare talent for capturing emotions. Whe

My fiancé and I did our engagement shoot with Zahar and absolutely loved it!! From the places he took us for the shoots and the backgrounds he was able to capture we couldn't be more happy with the results! Not only were the pictures perfect, but working with Zahar was a pleasure, he was very punctual had great inputs and ideas, and had a very impressive turn around time for the pictures!! I look forward to working with him in the future, and absolutely recommend him to others! Thank you Zahar for truly capturing some great moments! We really appreciate it!

Liz Sienkiewicz

Zahar shot our engagement photos and it couldn't have been a better experience! We really didn't have a vision of what we wanted going in to the session but he was so helpful working with us to come up with pictures that really captured "us." The photo shoot experience was all we could have hoped for-easy, convenient, fun-and the best part is, the pictures turned out perfect! I would definitely recommend Zahar to anyone!

Garrik Zurman

We had an amazing experience working with Zahar from RaskinStudio this past July and couldn't be happier for choosing him to capture our Wedding. He is an outstanding professional, easy to work with and very understanding. Zahar had a perfect balance of formality in pictures at the same time he wouldn't shy away from us having fun in front of the camera and he captured both brilliantly. The working process was a pleasure and the pictures came out stunning! I would 100% recommend RaskinStudio to anyone who is looking for a professional and easy going photographer, who makes stunning pictures!

Samira Mikailova

We can't thank Zahar enough for the absolutely gorgeous wedding photos that he took of our wedding day. Zahar made sure to arrive at the Fairmont Hotel early and look for spots to get great shots. He was able to capture the spirit of our celebration, the beauty of the day and totally made us feel at ease! Our families and friends expressed how much they were impressed with our photographer. Zahar was great at organizing us during the formal pictures, pulling us away at key moments and he remembered to take every picture I had requested. We highly recommend Raskin Studio Photography!

Viktoriya Vilkomir

I have done a few photo shoots with Zahar and have always had an amazing outcome. Not only is he courteous and creative, he’s also super easy to work with. A session involving two adults and three little kids can be challenging, and yet somehow he makes it fun for everyone. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I am certain I will hire him again for more family photos. Zahar, thank you for all the gorgeous photos and for going above and beyond to make us happy!

Olena Matov

It was such a great pleasure to work with Zahar once again! He is a true professional and makes photo shoot easy and enjoyable for everyone. He was able to capture the best moments of the entire event that took place in two venues simultaneously! All of my family and friends had a chance to get their photos taken at the event, and all I’ve heard was that they were the best pictures ever! Looking forward to work with Zahar again!

Adriana Tzigantcheva

We're so happy we chose Zahar as our wedding photographer! It was such a pleasure working with him throughout the whole process. He's very organized, communicative, friendly, and professional! We're both pretty camera-shy but Zahar made us feel very comfortable and that clearly translated to our photos. Despite the unconventional venue (ceremony and reception both on a boat), Zahar always managed to frame the perfect shots. He was also very timely in his release of a sneak peak gallery for us and the whole collection soon after. We're very impressed with his talent and grateful to have had him as our photographer!
