19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Love series: Helga & Kovich

In Kristina Shakht’s new series, viewers get an inside look at tenderness and intimacy through ideas of post-sexualization and realness. Without any direction, her subject matter was able to freely move about and express themselves without any certain type of judgement. The goal was to tell a story about females from a female perspective, so this paved the way for a stunning photo series about how real one can get in front of the camera, especially when posing with a partner or loved one.
