Russian based photographer Yura Taralov spent most of his life above the Arctic Circle. Constant development is an important part of his life philosophy, so for 10 years now, Yura has been improving his vision, skills and knowledge in photography and contemporary art. At this stage of development, photography for Yura Taralov is more than just a picture, it has become a means of researching the world around him through the feelings caused by narrated sincere experiences of people. Recently, the topic of the human body has become one of the dominant ones for Yura. For most of his life, he never dared to bare his body in front of someone. He was afraid of being obscene while uncovering a body in the presence of anyone other than himself. He began to discover his inner sexuality through other people in his art, thereby showing how important it is for himself. In an attempt to translate a sexuality of his inner self through the models he was working with, he started building a connection with them in an immaterial way, to follow their curves and their frankness. Implementing his sometimes daring projects he allows himself and others to reveal themselves and develop. Yura Taralov participated in 5 exhibitions in Russia and Europe. His photos were published in more than 20 magazines among which: Wull Magazine, Red Milk Magazine, Terrible Magazine, Broad Magazine, Iconic Magazine, Gasp Magazine, Lyun Magazine, Max Joseph Magazine, Riven Magazine. Yura Taralov is also a member of the Expert Council of the local Center for Contemporary Art and provides assistance to the development of culture in the north regions.
