19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Dima and Kat

Dima (24) and Kat (24) are a polyamorous couple from Saint-Petersburg (Russia). «Polyamory» is a new, but gaining popularity, phenomenon. However, everyone understands agreed non-monogamy in their own way, in accordance with their moral attitudes. In Russia, polyamory is often stigmatized by the conservative part of the society. Taking portraits of non-monogamous people, I want to further explore the aspects of polyamorous relationships and understand what it is like to love without appropriation.
