Marina Frolova is a Ukrainian photographer based in Sevastopol.
In her work, Marina draws on the aesthetics of old studio photography,
intertwining them with elements of theatre and burlesque, as well as mythical motives,
which give Marina’s images a surreal atmosphere.
Using several different layers in her images, Marina creates
photographs that have a three-dimensional quality of a diorama, and a depth that
draws the viewer in, which makes her photographs both lifelike and unreal. This
impression is further deepened by the red and blue hues and aquatic imagery,
another recurrent theme in Marina’s work.
Some of the characters in her photos
are also portrayed with attributes which seem to belong to her own individual set
of symbols, a personal mythology.
