Kirill Was There “Unlike Jesus, I’ve got proof that my life is awesome”

Written by VoenaJuly 7, 2014

Recently I spent time with Kirill from KirillWasHere.com – a party photographer synonymous with getting lewd and risque party shots NSFW. Last month I spent two weeks in NYC and managed to score some time with the man himself through Stoney Roads. I was curious as to what it was like to hang out with the notorious “slut whisperer” and see what was what.

As a photographer, I’m always curious as to other photographers approach. Kirill has garnered a lot of attention, obviously not all of it positive due to his highly publicised profile (the word misogynist has been thrown around a lot due to his highly polarised online personality).

We took a limo out to a party in Long Branch on Ocean Avenue for a very drunken day party, mainly shotting straight Patron.

My impression of Kirill was a guy who knew that his profile got him jobs, and the jobs got him money, he never claimed to be the best photographer, and was an easy to get along with dude. Honestly, I found him to be more one of the most polite party photographers out there. He claimed it was all bullshit, and he was making fun of what was going on. Which is fair enough, I think he really believes that. It’s an approach I’ve seen before. Kirill worked the party giving direction to the party goers and the girls ate it up.

Afterwards we exchanged a few emails through his management, and inevitably I sent across a few questions.

After agreeing that the first set of questions I asked had been asked before, (for examples of that " target="_blank">watch this video, and head here), I got some replies back which in many ways sum up the state of affairs for social photography across the US and Australia.

Do you think people buy into the bullshit lifestyle you perpetuate or they’re smarter than that? Drawn from this reference:

People are generally stupid. Look at religion. If people believe in that shit, how are they not gonna believe anything I say or do… and unlike Jesus, I’ve got proof that my life is awesome.

Why don’t male sluts gain as much traction as female sluts?

Because the ratio of the amount of girls that wanna fuck a dude compared to how many dudes wanna fuck a girl are way different. It’s so much easier for a girl to get laid. She has to do no work. The value of pussy to dick is like gold to tinfoil.

Along with your photographic reputation you’ve managed to build up a rep for the amount of girls you take home and slay after a gig. Are they literally throwing themselves at you now in hopes to be ‘one of those girls’ now, or do you find women are more guarded with you?

I get off on getting people to do shit that they normally would never think of doing. That’s better than sex to me. So convincing two girls to drink milk out of each other’s buttholes while I throw slices of bologna at them in my hotel room is wayyyyyyyy more interesting to me. Everybody has sex. Very few people have the power to make people do dumb shit on camera for their own personal gain.

Before you were ‘Kirill Was Here’, with the lavish parties, hyperactive sex life and champagne facials; what was your hobby? What else did you- or do you still – love in this world that your fan base possibly wouldn’t know about?

I don’t really remember. I guess the alcohol has killed my brain so much I actaully have no idea what the fuck I did before I became KWH. What did we all do before Facebook or Twitter or Instagram? We did something with our time besides spend all day on our phones… I don’t remember, do you?

Have you ever been scared of getting an STD from these any of these lovely ladies? Or are you always wrapping it up to be safe? I feel like you’d be making sure little-Kirill is always safe before getting to work.

I haven’t used a condom since the first time I had sex in high school. It’s nothing short of a miracle that I’ve never gotten herpes or crabs. But I do freak out anytime I have sex and it burns when I pee for a few days… but that’s normal isn’t it?

What do your family think about the life you lead? Mixed opinions? Or do they simply love or even hate it?

As long as I do what I love and am happy and healthy and make a lot of money and don’t do drugs and marry a nice Jewish girl, they’re OK with what I do.

You lose your eyes. What do you do with your time instead?

I’d use my influence & connections to raise money for charities that help fund a cure for blindness. I’m kidding. I’ll probably hang out at the club with my seeing-eye dog and wait for girls to fuck me for the story. I’d be content checking off a line on some slut’s bucket list.

What’s the worst thing someones done to because of your online reputation?

A lot of girls assume that because I talk about sex a lot & live this crazy lifestyle that I have a huge dick & am amazing in bed. My dick is small and I’m horrible in bed. But I’m a really good cuddler 🙂

Where will photography go when naked women and champagne facials become monotonous?

Naked women will never become monotonous. Sexuality has been the driving force behind everything ever accomplished by mankind. If men didn’t wanna fuck women, we would never have done anything with our time to impress them enough to wanna fuck us back. Unfortunately, most men dont’ impress women enough to get laid that often, so they live vicariously through guys like me. So as long as men have penises, I’ll always have a job shooting naked women.

What do you want to say to anyone copying your shit, or just taking photos because they want to party?

I embrace other photographers and any competition. It pushes us to be more creative. I didn’t invent photos of drunk naked girls, but I’m doing my best to perfect them. Now if you go around with a camera telling girls you’re me just to see some tits and she’s dumb enough to believe you that you’re as ugly as I am, then kudos to you! It also helps if you buy one of my shirts or hats at www.kirillwashere.com/store and wear it out while taking photos to really convince sluts that you’re me!

When I got to Kirill’s place, he was a bit tired… and had recently discovered he’d damaged his 24-70mm 2.8 for his Nikon.
