szeretet projekt
Photography, self-knowledge and connection. A shared experience about what is between the two of you.
A personal project by Tamara Nagy
How did it begin?
Alongside photography I study psychology, and after a while I started wondering how what we feel is connected to the way we live.
For a neuropsychology assignment I began looking at how positive emotions relate to mental and physical wellbeing. Love caught my interest most: how many forms it can take in our lives, how many ways we can express it, and how much even the tiniest gestures can mean.
Another question kept coming back: how often does someone love us, and we still don’t really feel it? Maybe they show it through thoughtful acts, touch or small deeds, while we understand love through words, or through entirely different gestures.
I became curious what happens when we give a little more time and attention to how the other person connects with us.
That is how szeretet projekt was born.
We don’t all express love the same way.
Some people use words, others touch or small acts of care. For some, time spent together means the most; for others, being able to count on the other.
We often take our own way so much for granted that we don’t notice the other may be trying to express what they feel in a completely different way.
I’m interested in how we can learn to notice these differences better.
A shared experience, all about you.
The couples’ szeretet projekt is a slightly different kind of date. A shared session where questions, playful tasks and movement help you discover each other’s thoughts, habits and ways of connecting.
The conversations touch on love, trust, self-knowledge and what makes us feel truly close to someone. The movement tasks let you not only talk about connection but experience it in different situations.
You don’t have to perform for the camera, and there are no expected answers. I create the situations, then let you be present for each other at your own pace.
I don’t want to show how much you love each other, but how.
The way you look at each other, touch each other, pay attention, laugh or are quietly together. Your story is made of these small, often unnoticed moments.
I watch and photograph in the meantime.
The result is a personal, documentary series about a shared experience. Not only how you look together, but what the connection between you is like.
A little time for each other.
If you’d like to try something different from the usual couples’ shoot and spend an afternoon paying attention to each other, I’m happy to tell you the details.
