Timeless Style

I often avoid eye contact in the portraits I take. Without eye contact, the whole mood of the image changes – the camera is now simply an "observer" and this is a great opportunity to show a subject in a different way. Because the subject is looking "past" the camera, it introduces an element of the unknown into the photo.

About Artist

Alex Tsarfin

Fine art photographer blending classical beauty with modern intimacy. Alex's journey as a photographer reflects the evolution of a true artist. Beginning as a multi-genre photographer, he eventually found his passion in portraying the natural beauty of the female form through a refined and restrained style. His artistic development deepened as he explored the psychology of aesthetics and questioned how cultural norms shape our perception of beauty. Working closely with models, Alex learned to move beyond artificial ideals and capture genuine, inner beauty. His images celebrate authenticity and self-expression, revealing the strength and vulnerability of his subjects. Through this process, Alex not only grew as an artist but also engaged in a powerful journey of self-discovery. His work stands as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the value of personal growth in the pursuit of meaningful art.
