If you are tired of deliberate posing, total photoshop and want to see natural female beauty and real emotions, welcome to the exhibition of female portraits by Mykolaiv photographer - enthusiast Pavlo Demenskyi.
The exposition was opened in the Central City Library named after M.L. Kropyvnytskyi in the evening of March 1.
His muses are mature women and young girls. Most often, the author works in the "Nude" genre, but he also likes portrait and subject shooting, landscapes and reports.
In particular, the exhibition dedicated to all women of the world and consists of 25 female portraits. Each of them is a separate, extraordinary story, a romantic or passionate dance.
"I talk a lot and take pictures very little. And I do not feel a person - a woman, a girl - until we have some kind of mutual understanding, like a man and a woman. I cannot know anything until we start dancing, speaking. When we started dancing, there was something to film," says Pavlo.
Pavlo Demensky is sure that beauty will save the world. That is why he shoots women, dedicates poems to them, and at the end of the photo shoot he kisses each hand of his muses. And during the process, he talks with the heroines about human relationships, dreams, and the completion of planned. A photographer can spend a whole day on creativity. At the same time, shoots only a small series of images. The main thing is to establish contact. Establish a dialogue. Sometimes this brings unexpected results. As it was with Olesia Zherega. Participating in Pavlo Demenskyi's photo shoot helped the woman find herself in a new profession.
"It was a difficult photo session. Pasha, as a friend, wanted to help me a little to work on my self-esteem. And yes, it helped. After this photo session, the decision was made by me to become a psychologist. And it was after this photo shoot that I immediately went to enter this university. Passed the external examinations for the master's degree. Now I am the best student at the institution," recalls Pani Olesia.
Pablo Incognito's works are available for purchase. Part of the collected funds from the sale of portraits or donations, the photographer plans to give to volunteers who help residents of de-occupied settlements of Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, as well as for the development of children's art.
"If people want to buy some kind of work, or simply leave money due to the satisfaction of looking at beautiful portraits, then we will transfer these funds to those who drive goods to the Kherson region. Only deoccupied part of the region. To our fighters. Money is always needed there. There are many places to spend them. Or someone wants to give this woman her portrait, buy it. That will also be good," Pavlo Demenskyi notes.
