‘TOLKO_YA’ by VALLERY
RELOAD - 26 AUG 2023
"I chose a hot sunny day for shooting, so I was really warm and even hot at some points. I think it shows, my skin shone. I love being in the sun, I feel cozy and comfortable. You can see it in my swimsuit tan :). It was nice to photograph myself naked, because I love my body, even though it has flaws that I struggle with. I am not ashamed of myself, so many of the shots turned out to be bold and funny. Sometimes it was hard for me to take some kind of active posture, because that day I trained in the gym in the morning and my body feels a little tight. Yoga and the process of photographing gave me the opportunity to relax. I'm glad that there is such a project that shows real women as they are, without "Instagram" style pictures. This is a very interesting experience for me, I did not try to look beautiful in the frame, I just fooled around and was myself."
