No costumes. No pretending.
Just You – Unapologetic.
Aesthemeria is not for everyone. This isn’t a photoshoot.
It’s an artistic portrait experience for the rare ones seeking something genuine.
The images? Beautiful, yes.
But more than that, they’ll feel like you.
The version of you that doesn’t perform for anyone.
The one buried under mirrors and masks…waiting.
You can’t book this.
But you can be invited.
If this calls to you… send me a message.
– Ivan Shimanchik
“…definitely the best shooting i’ve had, every capture we made was incredible, just enjoying the moment and letting it flow…”
–
“…it was a day of amazing photos, you are a great professional, thank you for the opportunity to be able to contribute together…”
–
“…it helped me with my self-esteem…”
–
“…something new awakened in me that day…”
–
“…the way you see is so powerful. I would do exactly the same, all over again…”
Aesthemeria is an ongoing artistic body of work, founded and directed by Ivan Shimanchik, dedicated to creating a contemporary mythology of feminine presence. Its medium is emotionally charged, cinematic portrait photography. Its purpose is cultural, not transactional.
This project is grounded in the principle of ethical artistic collaboration. It offers contributors a space of zero judgment, creative integrity, and personal sovereignty. Each image is created and published through mutual consent. The result is not documentation, but an emotional artifact. Each portrait is a testament to presence, self-recognition, and emotional truth.
The artistic core of Aesthemeria comprises long-form, legacy works, including invitation-only sessions that explore themes of identity, embodiment, and emotional intimacy through artistic nude portraiture. The resulting work is intended for gallery presentation, limited-edition fine art publications, and selective collaborations with brands (without compromising artistic integrity).
All participants are age-verified (18+) and provide valid government-issued identification before collaboration. Behind every frame is respect: for the woman, for her story, for the truth she allows to be seen. Every image is created in accordance with applicable laws and the ethical standards of artistic conduct.
