"Remembering Ida Rubinstein" Photograph

Alexander Ivashkevich is a fine art photographer, with his own very special style that became well-known among art connoisseurs in different countries across the world. The charming combination of an explorer and an artist, who strives to capture human beauty and discovers the uniqueness of every face and body. He loves to say that beauty is not in eternal youth, but in the wealth of the person's inner world. He has been figuring out this mystery for more than fifteen years of fine art photography experience within artistic, psychological, vintage, family portraits, and boudoir series. Artistic Style The artist’s interest in fine art and photography was further instigated by his life-long career in the dramatic theatre sphere. His profession allows him to wake up and tease the forgotten feelings that often blend into the background. Photo shooting is a continuation of acting and communicating with the audience, it is not just acting work, but rather directing. He states that photography is bridging gap between inhalation and exhalation. To catch the right moment means to catch some real sense of human nature. Inspiration “I believe that people nowadays need to feel the world much more sophisticatedly than our modern everyday life offers. The photoshoot process takes place on an artistic level that allows creating an opportunity for a model to rediscover themselves within the studio space and to find new emotional depths. And the most encouraging reaction to my work is the phrase “I have never felt this way before!" That's exactly the moment when I realise that I am doing the right thing, and my inner desire to shoot and to explore different sides of humanity is growing extremely” – says Ivashkevich. World-known famous painters of the past centuries inspire him very much and their vision of natural human beauty is consonant with his sense of the world today. Message through Artwork The opportunity to feel different is worth a lot. When the viewer sees such "deep" faces, he imminently wishes to understand what is happening at the present moment, what has happened before, and what could happen after the creation of this picture. The viewer is examining the inner storyline that is hidden in the picture. That is the power of photography – to present a riddle. That is exactly what makes a person stop in front of the photos and take a longer and deeper look at them. The mystery of the human soul cannot be represented by standard smartphone filters.
