Open Theme nominee

Model: Andriy Zhychkovskyi

The 25 years old Anna Tea has firmly shouldered the camera lens since about a decade to primarily investigate the lightness of being. She is a self-taught photographer born and raised in Western Ukraine. Her genuine poetic often embraces absent-minded looks and friendly grimaces of improvised models in banging bizarre outfits. Anna sees the delicate dynamics underpinning human relationships as the main concern of her visual research.
People, communication and relationships are the most appropriate keywords to outline the search field of this array of couple portraits. They represent a disenchanted but at the same time flippant attempt of investigation on a tricky type of human interaction that, more often than not, either ends abruptly or lasts less than one would expect.
