dissolve into nature (2022) Photography by Alla Toporskaya

Alla Toporskaya was born in 1987 in Yaroslavl, Russia.

Since childhood, she has been fond of photography, starting with film technology. She studied the art of photography on herself. The absence of the influence of a particular school or master allowed her to form her own recognizable style.

In 2021, Alla opened her own photo studio and began shooting in the genre of aesthetics of the body and nude. Having met huge resistance from the community, Alla formed her philosophy of nude photography as opposed to templates about the sacred or sexual perception of nudity.

"Under all the clothes, complexes, condemnation from the outside, under all the patterns and rules, you can see true beauty. I undress, but I expose not only the body, I take off everything unnecessary that prevents oneself from feeling beautiful. And I am glad to give women this right - to be calm, confident, proud of themselves and their bodies."

Alla took part in exhibitions and competitions in Russia and Greece. She also held a solo performance exhibition about the problem of perception of the female body in Montenegro.

Alla's photography has been published many times.
