Beauty cannot be an unbiased characteristic. "Everything can be considered beautiful if I assign this characteristic to it". Depending on the judge, an object or a human may be both beautiful or ugly. It all depends on your own perception of beauty. Our idea is to connect a human with their sense of beauty in one photography, to see a person through his love. Thus we asked people only one question: "What is BEAUTY for you?" The breadth of the question allows you to accurately demonstrate the spiritual image of a person, reveals his SENSE OF BEAUTY

My name is Roman Zinovev. I was born on 19th December, 2000 in Moscow, Russia. I enrolled the HSE university, faculty of mathematics, which is one of the best math faculties in Russia. But on my 2nd year of studying, I started to explore art and it was a fresh air for me. I entered Moscow Film School of Dmitry Kupovykh "Svobodnoe Kino" (“Free Cinema”) But my first shortfilm as a director was freezed beacuse of fear of political reprisals. So, Photography gives me a new breath in art, a new way to express my ideas, which is very significant for me.
