Yves Kortum is a photographer whose work explores a boundary that a lot of artists tend to attempt, but only a few succeed. It is the boundary of eroticism and fine art. The way Yves Kortum successfully does this is by weaving together elements of shadow, texture, and emotion in such ways that he has developed somewhat of a signature style. The interplay of light and darkness, where contrast is not just an aesthetic choice but a storytelling tool, makes his work stand out quite a bit.

While Yves Kortum tends to focus on monochrome photography, he applies his style to polychrome, that is, color photography, as well.

Each photograph he does has a minimalist approach, but what makes his photographs shine the most is the masterful use of lighting techniques that really make the models look like timeless pieces of art.

Each photograph of his has a story to tell, one of shadow and motion, and while this is something that many modern photographers tend to share, what makes Aurimas' work stand out is the carefully curated poses he puts his models in.
