Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

A year ago, I was quite a closed person and it was very difficult and shy for me to take off clothes in front of other people, especially for photography. I liked a photo of a famous photographer who specializes in erotic and nude photography. One day he wrote to me that he would like to work with me. At that moment, I decided that I had to do it! Because I like my body and I want to capture the moment of youth. I want to become more open to this world and not be ashamed of myself. In that photo shoot, I was able to take off only my bra but the photos were very beautiful and I wanted more! After this shoot, photographers began to offer me such shootings and step by step I opened up. It was very exciting and I enjoyed the creative process and I'm proud by myself about that. I would really like people around to start treating nudity well, start to love their body and not be shy about it. After all, there's a lot of beauty in it. Nowadays, there is a culture of nudity and it's wonderful! Despite the fact that many people condemn it, they consider it shameful and even disgusting. We were born naked. Nude body as part of the soul that people are trying to cover with clothes. When I was told about this project, I agreed to participate immediately! It's something completely new for me! It's very interesting to show yourself from a completely different side. Without fashion posing and Photoshop, open the door to my world to you, where you see not only the picture but also my atmosphere and simplicity. Instagram culture makes us forget what the face and body look like without Photoshop. It is very valuable to be able to go beyond the boundaries created by bloggers and be yourself. It's very nice to throw away all the masks and show you yourself. Thank you for this experience!
