Youth and Romance—Portraits by @cherniak_am

2

A lot has been said about young love and its intricacies. Its fervor and innocence are often expressed in movies, music, and literature as a distant memory, and these recollections are, in many instances, romanticised. But tales of young love told in its peak—could there be anything more romantic than that? Community member Andrei (aka @cherniak_am) shares his gentle perspective.

Although Andrei takes photos of other subjects, it is his loving photographs of himself and his partner that lures us in. Through their natural poses and body language, one could sense how comfortable they are in front of the camera and in each other's presence. His delicate portraits of his muse clearly show that the photographs were taken by someone in love.

Adoring gaze aside, Andrei's composition and use of natural light is worthy of acknowledgment, too. Also noticeable is his frequent use of flowers—a motif that emphasises the tenderness of young love.
