Prima ballerina of the National Opera. 2018

AUTHOR
Yevgeniy Repyashenko was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1979. At the age of 20, while studying at the National Technical University, he starts to work with his first SLR camera. He got into portrait and fashion photography, which he explores with glossy magazines and photographers' albums from around the world. After graduation Yevgeniy bases his High-End salon, as he had a great love for music and technology. His time was divided - in the working time he directed the salon, and in the evening he was engaged in photography. For the most part, it was not a commercial, but a fine art photography. He independently studies the perception of the light image and makes post-processing by himself. Step by step he equips his own photo studio and decides to turn his passion into his profession.

His works always reflect poetic beauty, naked grace and harmony. Being fascinated with classical sculpture and Renaissance painting, Yevgeniy finds a new creativity direction - sculpture photography and the plastic movement. Flawless nudity of ballerina's and gymnast's bodies freezes in a fit of dance leaving the strongest feelings and passion in the frame. At first glance, they do not seem real, but sculpted by hands of the master. The models are saying that shooting with Yevgeniy is not easy, but he knows what he wants to achieve, often being a choreographer at his shoots, inventing new images. His SPIRIT series is a combination of the texture of classical sculpture with the filling of modern rhythm and emotions.
