This shoot with a girl who has CP (Cerebral Palsy) was quite a challenge. The goal was to show her inner world through her physical presence.

A black and white fine art portrait of a woman sitting in a gathered, introspective pose, embracing her knees with her head slightly turned in profile. Soft, directional light highlights the texture of her skin and the curves of her body, creating deep shadows in a low-key style. The minimal dark background evokes a sense of intimacy, quiet strength, and vulnerability.
We often look away from people with disabilities out of a false sense of politeness. But what if that’s just a trap of condescension?

A high-contrast, low-key monochrome study of the female form at age 61. Dramatic side-lighting (chiaroscuro) emphasizes the anatomical structure of the shoulder and neck, revealing the intricate, honest texture of the skin. A scientific and aesthetic observation of aging, light, and human biology.
I wasn’t sure if I could properly capture 61-year-old Elena. But the result really surprised me. Full story and photos here: open.substack.com/pub/koldunov...

An artistic, high-contrast portrait of Elena, a 61-year-old woman, captured as part of a visual study on age and form. She is seen from the waist up, her body slightly turned, with her bare chest exposed as a central element of this study on the human anatomy and the textures of time. Her gaze is direct and piercing toward the camera. The directional lighting emphasizes the natural folds and texture of her skin, as well as the intricate details of her silver hair. The dark, indistinct background focuses all attention on the authentic, unretouched features of the subject. The image represents an honest observation of the human essence, stripping away social filters.
Continuing my visual research into the human form. The full photo story with 61-year-old Elena:

Thank you so much, I’m truly honored! Sally Mann and Richard Avedon are two masters whose work deeply inspires me. Their visions are so different yet equally brilliant, and if my photos reflect even a hint of their spirit, that means the world to me.
