Kate Zakharova - Male Art Photography
Kate Zakharova is a Russian-born male nude photographer, specializing in taking pictures of naked men, gay or straight.
Her shots are primarily close-ups in black and white imagery photographed in a harshly-lit minimalist style. She strives to meld the humans passion and fine art in her work, endeavoring to tell a story that reaches the viewer in an emotional way. Her work sometimes evokes the gossamer lightness of water color, sometimes the stark precision of engraving.
With her artworks, Kate took part in exhibitions all over the world, had a solo exhibition in Moscow, Russia, and was featured as one of the photographers who participated in the exhibition of male beauty with the photographer Dylan Rosser - a world renowned photographer.
Essentially, Kate's work are some of the last gay-oriented artworks to be produced in Russia, before LGBT persecution started in 2011.
Kate immigrated to Israel from Russia, then to Vietnam, where she resides to this day.
