Women brings together more than two decades of Ivailo Stanev’s work photographing women, much of it developed during his years working for international magazines including Playboy, Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, Maxim and FHM.

The collection crosses portraiture, fashion, editorial photography and more personal work. Some photographs began with a commission or a magazine story; others were created independently or later entered exhibitions. Their visual languages can be markedly different, reflecting the publications, periods and circumstances in which they were produced.

What connects them is Stanev’s enduring interest in people. Throughout his work, the human figure has remained one of his most persistent subjects, and photographing women became a particularly extensive part of that practice. Years spent working with models, actresses and other public figures gave him an unusual range of encounters, from carefully constructed editorials to photographs that depend on little more than the person before the camera.

Women brings these different periods together, allowing photographs originally made for very different reasons to be seen as part of the same long engagement with portraiture, character and the human figure.
