Cuban photographer Luna Tristá´s new series “Lolita” is all about photographs from young teenagers, with that veil of innocence that characterizes that period when we leave behind our childhood, the maturity and the knowledge of the body, the extreme, and audacious.
“This project is an ode to the youth. That central stage of transition, of discovery of one’s own identity.” explains Luna who´s work already appeared in numerous publications including I-D Magazine, Vogue, Enquire and many more. “My work is based on portraits of women, nudes and close-ups. My photography is usually in black and white, but my latest project is getting closer to color. If I had to summarize it, I would say that it is a feminist, nostalgic, sincere work. One detail that may make my work interesting is that I do not have any type of bond with the people I photograph. This is a real challenge for me, because that moment of intimacy and special connection that is created between the person behind the camera and the photographer can happen or not.”
Upcoming exhibtion: She’s My Man >>> Mutuo Gallery/ October 2017 >>> Barcelona
