About me<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Lidia (Lida) Khaikara<\/strong> was born in 1986 in Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg. She studied at the Saint Petersburg State University of Film and Television while simultaneously exploring painting at the Painting and Graphic Arts Studio of V. Shraga.
\nAt the beginning of her career, Lidia focused on landscape photography, capturing natural environments and reflecting her passion for outdoor activities. Since 2010, she has worked extensively with analogue photography, combining film shooting with manual printing, experimenting with alternative techniques and exploring the materiality of the photographic image \u2014 the interaction between light, chemical processes, and the texture of photographic paper.
\nBetween 2014 and 2016, her work concentrated on self-portraiture within natural landscapes, where the human figure enters into dialogue with space and environment, investigating corporeality, identity, and emotional interaction with nature.
\nLater, Lidia turned toward digital photography, developing her own visual language in portraiture and artistic nude photography. Her works are distinguished by a subtle treatment of light, careful attention to bodily form, and an expressive use of colour.
\nHer work has been presented in solo exhibitions in Russia and Sweden, as well as in group exhibitions, including the 4th Contemporary Photography Biennale at the State Russian Museum. Photographs by Lidia Khaikara are held in the collections of the State Russian Museum, the Tsarskoye Selo Collection Museum in Saint Petersburg, and in private collections worldwide.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”284″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1774960534838{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”285″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”286″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row gap=”25″ css=”.vc_custom_1774874597554{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1775504614684{padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”] About me [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Lidia (Lida) Khaikara was born in 1986 in Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg.
