"Portraits of young women"

===

...They are natural, they do not perform the roles that the “adult” world decides to give them. They are fragile. Some of them are looking at my lens with caution; some with a very free and artistic point of view. Some of them are trying to get close, someone – feels like on stage. Their fragility, prickliness … their beauty. In a few years they will become just “like everybody else”. Until then I’m trying to show that they are alive: without plastic glamour. Girl just as they are.

I do not shoot in long series with one model. Each set of one model contains from 3 to 10 photos. I always post one or two photos on Facebook, Instagram or here. But there are always pictures that for some reason are not published: did not have time to develop; started another series; forgot to publish; or just too lazy to publish... And I decided to collect all the unpublished photos in one place: ematveev.com
