For two years the only essential item of apparel needed was a good mask. In this satirical look at our time we see a nude young man dressed and ready to go. This impression is printed on Hahnemuhle archival paper. Sergey Vinogradov (St.Petersburg, Russia b. 1/29/79) is a photographer who gravitates toward capturing the emotional man, humanizing him, and creating a narrative where masculinity and emotion can be synonymous. For him, photography is not just about the photo, but also a way to express his pain and joy. He has been working with these subjects, and within photography, for over 10 years. "I shoot everything for art, even if it is for hire. With my work, I strive to always capture the emotional man, to see his delicate/soft, human nature, and to tell this story in which the masculine and emotional can become synonymous. With my models, I am not afraid to demonstrate the feminine within the masculine. A signed Certificate of Authority will be included with all photographs.
