THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF ALEX SAMOILOVAleksey Samoylov is a Russian photographer focused on
portrait and
art photography, with a strong interest in the
human figure,
intimacy and the
aesthetics of the body.
His work moves between
black and white and
color, with a
clean and
minimalist style where
light,
skin and the
expressions of his models are everything.
He cares more about
atmosphere than the perfect pose.
More about the
feeling than the artifice.
His portraits convey a mix of
sensuality,
naturalness and a certain
calm melancholy.

WITH MOM AT THE WATER PARKLast year we already shared some of her videos.
A mother at a water park with her son, enjoying the day, playing in the water — an
apparently innocent scene. The difference was her:
very attractive, wearing a minimal bikini, aware of the camera and
the reaction it triggers. The contrast did the rest.
The videos
went viral. Millions of views,
massive attention and, as a logical consequence,
more followers on her blue account. The
family context was the wrapper; the
real spotlight was on her. And it worked.
This year, after checking her profile again, the story repeats itself.
Same setting,
same formula,
same type of content. The kid has grown… and
so have her followers. When something works, the natural thing to do is to
stick with it. The internet rewards repetition when the mix is right.
There’s nothing
explicit in the videos. Nothing really “happens.” And yet,
there’s something else. Something that’s not in what takes place, but in
how it’s framed and
why it’s consumed. The water park is almost an
excuse. The video lives in that
blurry line between the everyday and the calculated.
From there,
everyone draws their own conclusions. About
exposure, about
context, about whether everything is acceptable when the content is “
apparently” innocent. This isn’t an accusation or a verdict. It’s simply
putting the pieces on the table and looking at the whole picture.
I don’t judge.
I just share.
