Elizaveta Porodina delves into her debut photo book and why she’s so intent on revealing the “stranger side” of people through her work
Born in Moscow, Porodina’s journey to becoming a fashion photographer was anything but typical. After leaving school, she trained as a clinical psychologist for seven years, later becoming a psychotherapist at an eating disorder hospital in Germany.
The idea for the book was sparked when Fotografiska gallery approached Porodina about a hosting a solo exhibition of her work, which is currently. “While I was [curating the show], I realised I knew exactly what the book would look like,” she remembers. “It was really like a powerful wave.” The book, says the artist, examines the way we present ourselves to others and the many aspects of our personalities we hide away.
With such a cerebral driving force behind her work, it makes sense that Porodina’s artistic heroes – “people who keep me going,” she says – have all danced the line between beauty and darkness in their careers: Francis Bacon,, and Swedish documentary-photographer, Anders Petersen.
