Women in daring portraits by Mark Olefirov
Young Russian photographer Mark Olefirov signs online with the nickname MadnessBrains, that is, “Mad Brain.” In fact, many of his works are so unusual that they seem crazy. For beginners who ask him how to start taking photographs, Mark advises “not to start.” Firstly, if such a question arises, then photography is definitely not your confession. And secondly, if you manage to start, you will never be able to finish. (Warning! Nudity).
Mark Olefirov considers two cities as his hometown - St. Petersburg and Norilsk. He suddenly decided to become a photographer, and was inspired by an unsuccessful photo shoot with a professional photographer. “Why not try, maybe I can do better,” thought Mark, and he did.
People become creative for various reasons. Some express themselves, others dream of fame and money. For Mark, it’s just a way to not be lonely.
The photographer claims that he does not put any idea into his photographs. He says that everyone finds their own meaning. Oliferov's photographs are always different. It can be underground and erotic, but it also happens that the master is drawn to the classics.
Although some of Mark Olefirov’s works look shocking and defiantly erotic, they are not repulsive. Carefully selected models, simple and pleasant surroundings and cinematic lighting make his photographs artistic and interesting.
If you liked the photographs of Mark Olefirov, then you definitely will not pass by the works of the Frenchman Geoffroy de Boismenu.
