Love the Family Portrait
Thank you!
Ah! Budapest by Kacper Gawron: Only one streetshot in the weekly roundup, but it’s a satisfying one!
I hesitate to say this about the only street shot but I could only tell it was Budapest by the title. It is still the most interesting shot here though.
I like the one by Dee Vee.
Name “the Auswitz model”. Hmm..may be a bit to fat for that, who knows.
The first one that is, the others are nice. BTw: only the model is far too skinny for my taste, pic in it self is very good too.
That is pretty insulting to both the lady the photographer and spelling. An excellent photo Ilya Varivchenko.
Insulting? Why? Indeed the model looks like she hasn’t had a decent meal for weeks. She’s all bones, scarily/scary skinny.
“Birkenau” grrrrr..Sorry for the other typo’s, you get the message.
But I hope the history about concentration camps is still a bit more than just a convenient example to make an impressive statement about how skinny you think a model is.
Explain “convenient” and how it would be just that for me. It is clear the comparison deals with people being oppressed in various ways, humiliated and not accepted for who they are too. One is installed via a countries policy based on race, the other installed on females mostly based on a preferred look. When kids start at 5-7 yrs, it is not much different in reallife. A kid will torture itself freely just to be accepted by those they look up to. A balletteacher and parents are perfect examples of oppressors in that way.
To me it was not clear that she is a dancer, I also didn’t know the ballet world, including parents and teachers, is as bad as you describe, but if it really can be compared to being sent to the gas chambers, and there is not much chance to survive, then it must be really very bad.
There is no edit button. “Auschwitz/Birkena”….”too”…Insults are subjective. If you feel it is insulting, fine. I personally find this model extremely skinny and dislike it a lot. If some shots a shot of a car I find horrible I will say that too.
I dislike the lithany of women who look like they haver gone on a hungerstrike, claim they are just natural like this (my arse) on top of that and send out this abnormal image of women around the world. That and that digusting shaving in places where I can see a woman is in fact mature rather then a young teenager are two things I hate the most that propagated around the world these days.
It seems mature healty women are not allowed to exist these days. We see sort of female that lost female shape and other expressions of mature femininity.
You are right! The biggest problem is that in these days there are many skinny girls/women and many fat ones but the nice shaped females are rare. I can see it in the streets, in the gym. There is always something missing…
Look up “”a beautiful tragedy”. A documentary on this. You see a 1.65 m tall girl (and all of her mates are just like that) that weigh less than 40 Kg….Oh..it is so beautiful. We know how extremely susceptive girls at a young age are to the acceptance of their peers and those they look up to. It is horribleI think.
Looked at his site. Almost all models he uses are intensly skinny. I am not so for gouvernments interfering, but here I’d say models should be 18+ years at least (or 21+) before being allowed to do this professionally. I have seen too many horror stories of young models getting seriously ill by the extreme demands those professionals make on them….Seriously sickening and not for any younger person to be a victim of…
Really? Welcome to ballet world, they are working on most demanding sport that humans do and yet they need to balance extreme flexibility and physical strength, combined with mental state.
And they start from 5-6 years old…. There is as well reason why you are retired ballet dancer at 40-42 years old…
Yes…a 5-6 year old is where the drilling starts, the brainwashing. How a bout a girl (it are Always the females isn’t it who need to be “perfect””) who asks for a salad to keep her slim? The ballet world, much like the modelworld is one of misogyny. Kids that start smoking at 11 to keep them getting hungry, kids (read girls) fainting because they want to slim down after they were told their legs were too chunky. It is an endless list and it is in the same sickening category to my mind as modelling is. And it figures: the dancers tend to be gay or females…they have no clue about the female body and too many do not care. Their view on perfection simply leads to females not accepting themselves and especially how they look.
Yuck!

From Russia, where these balletdancers (as you say) come from. What a respect for these girls, what an education. It is unaccepting of who they are, humilitiating, hurtfull etc.
Is it a wig? She looks like she is on chemo.
Very good collection.
The picture by Ilya Varivchenko is perfect: The composition, the amazing model and her expression, the simple yet elegant garment – everything.
I sent the pic to a fashion phtographer I know to show her that different “look”.
You got to be kidding.
The lighting is good, but the girl/woman is not looking healthy at all. Maybe the makeup on the cheek adds to this.
I think the difference between our view is that you look for real woman, while I see a fantasy model, not necessarily real (I am positive that her face was heavily photoshopped).
And by “not real” and “fantasy” you are spot on — she definitely does not look like a real person, but a wax doll, a plastic puppet. The lights, the contours, the makeup, the lipstick, the hair colour… everything looks unnatural. What it boils down to is the impression, and this picture doesn’t leave a good one on me, even if I’d otherwise commend it’s technical aspects.
Or like a fairy tale beauty.
I think it’s a great shot and she looks fantastic.
I don’t understand why so many people need to be so negative. Is this an offending picture, because she’s not fat?
Of course it is taste. Your fairy tale beauty is my nightmarish anorexic.
Here is the model, Dasha, with a much more natural (and unprocessed) look.

One of the most HORRIBLE pics I’ve ever seen – the beautiful model was ruined by Varivchenko + dimwit makeup.out of hell and the insane photoshopper who made this girl look like plastic doll covered with heavy 1/2 inch makeup. What a crap…
