Nastia Cloutier-Ignatiev is a 19yr old portrait/fashion/beauty photographer based in Montreal, Quebec. She is currently attending the Dawson College DEC Professional Photography Program. Her series "Love" is the third of "Close-Ups" for C-Heads Magazine. She tries to capture the intimate moments between people in love, and refer's to their "bubble".
She chooses to zoom in close, to really capture the bumps and gritty details to enforce the idea of intimate distance. She herself needed to be a certain distance away from her subjects in order for them to feel comfortable enough to open up to each other. Nastia would feel like as soon as her subjects gave into to the kiss, it was as if she wasn't there.
I like her choice to zoom in and make it minimal. No included the eye contact gives the impression of a "closed eye" kiss, which only deeps the connection between the 2 models. I think its very clever to capture moments most people have only felt, not seen.
In the comments someone accuses her of copying; their reference link: http://agonistica.com/snog-by-rankin/
