Conceptual 1st place winner

In this work, the author raises the topic of harmonious human relationships with nature, which does not happen without the same attitude to himself. Complexes, self-doubt, appearance outside the accepted canons of beauty - this prevents you from knowing and revealing yourself as a person. Models in this series of works faced prejudice against themselves because of their appearance, but went through it.

Elena Fokova was born in 1981 (Dnipro, Ukraine).
In her works we see harmony between human and nature.
"I dreamed of being a journalist and researching human psychology. Therefore, in my photographs I always strive to express the Personality. In my life I have come across self-doubt and complexes. And now, my models are not only ideal bodies, but harmony of any body in combination with nature".
