Born in a tiny southern town of Russia, Aks Huckleberry is a young film maker and a portrait photographer, who spent her most formative years in London. Not being “based” anywhere now, she is continuously moving from one destination to another.
These are not voyages to go to as many places or to take as many pictures but rather to see the loved ones and have time to reflect. Whenever and wherever she travels, she takes a moving portrait of the place, which includes her family, friends & strangers she encounters on her journey. The majority of the work is neither staged nor does it allude to the documentation; rather it is about capturing the mood, the atmosphere and the beauty of the place and memories of the people involved in it. You will see that the images are exhaling tenderness and this specific attention to sensuality. That’s because of how her models always feel on set - loved and looked after. That helps the characters to appear so honest, even in surreal settings, frequent in her work.
Having done photography for over 10 years, Aks is now more preoccupied by videography. She has been mostly working on travel diaries, young actors testing series (Pillow Talks: screen tests in bed) and some art and fashion short films, including editorial and music videos. It’s the most natural medium for her aesthetic - honest characters in surreal setting seen through her gentle gaze.
