The aim of the project was to capture a very sensual collaboration of the human’s body and extreme emotions that expresses both the physical and spiritual harmony.
It was to immortalise the beauty of shape, the purity of art and the uniqueness of existence. Photographer’s job was to emotionally connect with the sitters to be able to recognise and understand what feelings each individual person and its connection to the body can express. At the same time each person involved must have had a clear understanding of the Photographers vision that was to deeply concentrate on emotion and the way it can be expressed through the body and its unique language. Human’s body and its posture disclose both physical and mental mood and state of mind. All good and bad, happy and sad emotions can be read from people’s faces and the way we appear. The Photographer’s aim was to touch all possible feelings and register a very emotional collaboration between herself as an observer and sitters as acting objects.
