LES BOIS PHOTOGRAPHY is owned by a husband and wife team, Vitaliy and Elena Autin. Their passion for photography is evident in their work - a combined portfolio ranging from family and art portraiture to weddings, modeling and maternity pictures.

Vitaliy has been a photographer for as long as he can remember! His passion started early on when he took his fathers camera hostage at the age of seven. Vitaliy was unable to get ahold of it again until he grew up and could afford his own! Whilst growing up, the guest bathroom was his dark room, where he would develop his own black & white films. He worked as a photographer in a large photography studio in Ukraine before he became a sport photographer for a local newspaper. Studying Photography in New York Institute of Photography, Vitaliy developed an interest in photographing people in a reportage style while putting together a portfolio. He has a knack for being able to snap the essence of the subject.

Paul Thomas has been an avid photographer for most of his life. He spent much of his youth developing and printing his own work.

He studied computer graphics and imaging at the University of Idaho, and collaborated on a video hairstyling and makeup program that shows beauty salon customers what they would look like after a complete makeover. As a color and imaging print quality engineer for a local high tech printer manufacturer, he had the opportunity to study the work of influential artists and photographers throughout the world. He has a talent for capturing people's personalities in the photographs he takes.
