Elizaveta Porodina (Alice Litwin)

"Elizaveta Porodina, who was born 1987 in Moscow, has a very unique view of the world.
In her photography, she shows us Glam Rock and fairy worlds, interprets fashion with an often sexual aesthetic which is shaped by her psychological knowledge and full of hidden emotion.
She prefers to work with natural light-a preference which has emerged from the initial lack of equipment and the will to capture the "right moment". "
