REZMORAH

Alex Korolkovas
São Paulo, Brazil
I consider myself an artist first,
and a photographer second.
Rezmorah
Luso-Brazilian
This photo essay was born out
of a mutual interest, and from
there other inspirations were
brought to life.

Rezmorah is working through their body as their main medium.
As a Queer post-binary, positive-trans, the work of Mapplethorpe
has always had a strong impact on them in their artistic voyage.
This photo essay was born out of that mutual interest, and from
there other inspirations were brought to life.
Rezmorah strives for a more artistic and wholesome approach to
sexuality, bringing along eco-sexual references in their work as
well as sex-positive and fetish attire.
Theatre and performing arts background come to life in the
embodiment of many personas, though Rezmorah sees them more
as the embodiment of energy itself, then playing or dressing up
for a role, all are aspects of themselves.
They are currently developing an audiovisual Queer Mass or ʻSubMissaʼ
to be presented as an electronic opera.

In my work, I am adept at seeing into my subjects and showing their
truth. In fashion, I love the poetry of a heroic moment, showcasing
angles and depth and the way clothes make people feel. My work
attempts to blend the reality of the human condition with the fantasy
of fashion. Which, in my opinion, is used to elevate an idea, but I donʼt
call myself a fashion photographer. I use clothing as a tool to create
an identification with my subjects.
I use powerful expression, emotion, shape, lighting, and form to
sculpt an image and help to tell the hidden stories within. Sometimes
my work is etheric, sometimes dark, but always conveying a rich
narrative meant to illuminate the human being as his story intersects
the needs of a brand or an art project. I approach life and career with
a lust for “a knowing of” what makes my subjects tick.
I consider myself an artist first, and a photographer second.
I like to think that when Iʼm shooting, Iʼm also making art.

I first became interested
in the human form as a life
drawing model for art classes over
2Oyears ago.

With the
introduction of
digital cameras I
began
experimenting with
artistic selfportraits.
After a few years I
gained a following
online with my
photographystyle
and composition.
Eventually I wanted
to expand my
photography skills
and include others
in the process. I
began to
collaborate with
other
photographers as
their model. From
that I started to
advertise for male
and female models
on line in order to
create both portraits
and artistic nudes.

I first became interested
in the human form as a life
drawing model for art classes over
2Oyears ago.

In 2007 I retired from a
career in government and
was able to devote more time
to my photographic hobby. I
enjoy working with both
amateur and profesional
model in studio and outdoor
settings. I am particularly
keen on outdoor portrait
photography as it provides a
variety of backdrops and
locations. Having said that,
studio work is also very
fulfilling with preference
given to studios that offer
natural light through large
windows. Prior to covid I was
also photographing models
in my home studio with the
use of strobes and soft boxes.
With lighting i was able to
create interesting shadows
and effects. I was also able
to do my bathtub series which
has been very popular. I
hope to get back to home
studio work when Covid
concerns are behind us.
Although I am based in
Toronto, through my travel I
have been fortunate to
photograph models in San
Francisco, Palm Springs,
Hawaii, Vancouver, Montreal
and Sydney Australia.

I prefer to work on a
colaborative basis with a
model. I am always happy
to incorporate a models
personal interests into a
shoot whether if be in the
form of a fetish, personal
clothing, props or
accessories. I also enjoy
working with models of all
ages and body types. With
respect to nudity, I go with
the comfort level of the
model. always start all
models dressed and
throughout the shoot
remove the various layers
of clothing. I often use
coloured draping as it
enhances many of the
photos and in some cases
provides a level of
modesty.

He has always drawn the human figure,
that is why he studied
