Honorable Mention
The Dialog
DESCRIPTION
This shot is inspired by butoh dance and explores imperfection. I created the metaphor using different textures: vulnerable flower ang crumpled paper. What we really feel about ourselves and what we show.
The performer's pose denies traditional beauty of form, but creates space for something new.
AUTHOR
I'm a self taught photographer from Saint-Petersburg. Artist and dancer in the past. I like to explore world around me through different visual forms. I started photography as a hobby when I was seven. For a long time I was fond of documentary photography and I still do. My other field is creating staged photography. Mostly my works are hand made from the scratch. I create set designs and costumes as well. My works are about subconscious, shadows, symbols. I explore my own feelings about very personal things. Sometimes it's just a glimpse of impression that I get from my subject. I try to visualize it. As a dancer I love expression of body movement and my models are often dancers.
