Issue 01
Portrait of a Girl
Welcome to the first edition of PLATFORM Magazine: a new online magazine dedicated to sourcing and showcasing emerging photographic talent from all across
the world.
We’ll be publishing an online issue quarterly, here at www.platform-mag.co.uk, with a new theme each time and, more importantly a new set of wonderful
photographers to feast your eyes upon.
We’re here to try and push emerging talent to the surface and expose work that we feel deserves to be seen. Beautiful images aren’t made to be hidden away in print
boxes or stored forever in shiny hard-drives. They’re made to be looked at, and felt. They’re made to be seen. So, here you go...
We’re launching the magazine with Issue 01: Portrait of a Girl.
We hope you enjoy it.
Happy looking. The PLATFORM Team.

‘‘I was a dental technician who gravitated towards psychology who eventually became a photographer. After all the time of searching I finally feel I'm in the right place with my life. I would be the happiest person if I continue doing what I do.
I started taking pictures when I was a third year student of psychology studies. It was a good way to relax after day spent in front of the books. I started posting photos from these escapades on flickr. Soon I realised that It actually gives me a lot of joy and something that was a hobby of mine turned into my career.’’

"I am not a verbal person and never have been. My biggest childhood-trauma is the feeling of never being heard. It’s a feeling I can only compare with claustrophobia. I think this is why I quite early turned to photography. That way I could process my
feelings and express myself without having to care if people saw or read whatever I had created. I did it only for myself, and still do. "
Sasha Karelina24, Russia
Photography is...a nice tool to create your own statement about what you have seen, to express feelings and thoughts.

‘‘I love beauty. So this is what I try to capture in my photographs. I shoot people because I think that their beauty is extremely versatile. I love how the slightest
movement of an eyebrow, or the twitch of a lip can change someone’s expression. I rely on expressions in my
photographs to portray feelings and idea’s to anyone who might look at my work.’’
‘‘I want my work to grow, and improve. Ideally I’d like to work for fashion magazines in the future, working on beauty,
editorial and portraits.’’
Masha Svyatogor23, Minsk, Belarus.
Photography is...the focus of personal experiences.

‘’When I was a child I loved to watch my dad’s displayed film in the dark. When I was 14-15 years old I got my first Olympus camera. I like to take self-portraits and portraits of my soulmate. I think it's a good way to tell you about myself; it's better than words.’’

Photography is... a perfect medium for expression and communication. It is an art and it's a lifestyle.
