The transgender community has long been a target for artists and photographers, usually in an attempt to provoke or shock their audience with documental realism often underlined with some strong social meaning. Photographer Olga Volodina chose another way. She preferred the style of classic black & white nude photography stripping away the colours and any possible social context. Her attention to composition, lighting and the beauty of a human being is more important. These are just calm and sensual nude pictures shot in the same way as classic nude female photography. It lets allows the viewer to focus on the beauty of a transgendered body in the same way as a male or female naked body.
