Russian Photographer Captures The Beauty Of Women’s Bodies With B&W ‘Bodyscapes’
1Mviews
Russian photographer Anton Belovodchenko creates natural forms from nude female figures. Artfully shot, the suggestive photos look like sculptures of dancers or yogis, contorted in way that sometimes masks the human form.
A bodyscape, traditionally, is an artistic style where closeup photographs of the human form convey the impression of landscape. While Belovodchenko does have some experience photographing nature, this series reminds us more of Yakovlev’s work.
What do you think of the series? Are these bodyscapes, or something else altogether?

When you're slender and stretched, the bones show. Doesn't necessarily indicate concentration camp skinniness. Beyond that, most of these are very muscular women. I think they're beautiful. Do they represent the Only beauty? Of course not, no one ever said so. Haunting, strong, stark, memorable. Kudos to the artist.
So, do you want him to photograph fat women? These models are beautiful and extremely healthy, I really don't see your problem. Also, the spine bones are showing just because of the streching.
These models are dancer! that is why they are so strong and soft, and not any woman can model like these women, they are great! and really fat or thin, or whatever shape, the important part of this work is that there is a connection bet photographer and dancer/model. It take one to know one, that is me...I have done this work for years....without being a dancer, no way this beauty would be what it IS
Irina, they are not skinny, they are muscular. Just look at the pictures again.

um, how do you know they're healthy? because they're skinny? just because someone's fat, doesn't mean they're not healthy (fat doesn't mean obese)... and what is wrong with a fat or overweight body if the person is healthy?

actually, this is advertised as representing the beauty of women's bodies. It is beautiful but it's only the beauty of one body
Its the beauty of a healthy and HOT body.
Unbelievable how much judgement can just take over a post.
I think it's a beautiful idea...I wish there was more body shape and shade variation. He's Russian and likely was photographing Russian women...and that's why most of them are thinner and lighter skin tone. Russian women tend to naturally be on the very thin and petite side, which is also beautiful... but I would love to see him photographing and representing women of the world of all shapes and shades...I think it would have more impact that way. Beautiful photography though, regardless. Perhaps he'll expand his work in the future.
I don't think that every artwork needs to represent every person and every shape. Political correctness has gone too far in that there now seems to be an expectation if someone represents someone as thin / white / blonde they now need to show fat / asian / black / brunette . His work is beautiful. The fact it is only one shape is a part of his art. No one asks for the Mona Lisa to be painted 10 times to represent every woman. Enjoy it in its simplicity.
That was really good Kirsty..About the Mona Lisa...Never thought about that...Very smart comment.

Mona Lisa was not.meant to represent all women. It's the portrait of the wife of one of da Vinci's friends and wasn't a standard of beauty even in the 16th c. Its value increased at the beginning of the 20th C but wasn't anything special during da Vinci's time. Besides, the woman is quite ugly and the feeling of.mystery surrounding her is only.in the eye of the beholder.
that's probably not what he's about and I'm not sure it's his job to represent women of the world all shapes and sizes. Beautifully fit, slim women deserve to be celebrated in their own right. Why does it have to be turned in political incorrectness?
Maybe he doesn't like fat & non-white women. Fat is not beautiful, stop that feminazi crapstorm.
Ur rite ashley it wud be more intresting though i like what am lookin at rite now
