Sensual Beauty by Martin Krystynek

In his original statement, Martin Krystýnek described Sensual Beauty as a series about light, shadow and portraiture. This page shows twelve photographs from the series, not the complete collection.

Krystýnek’s original statement framed the work as an exploration of beauty and sensuality. That is the artist’s perspective, not a claim about the people photographed or their circumstances today.
